The weather held out today – sunny skies and a little wind instead of the forecast which was cloudy. So, with iPhone in hand I headed of to borough market for a coffee and then Greenwich for a little exercise up and down the park. On the way back I captured the following 360° image [...]

How to have an alternative Christmas in London
Every now and then it’s good to do something different. It’s December and the 25th is rapidly approaching where most people are either still attending christmas parties, stressing about presents, preparing to travel home for christmas or just sick of the whole prescribed experience (mostly the shopping and cookery programmes). So, what can you do [...]
What’s the most popular smartphone to take pictures with?
The November 9th student protests were a perfect opportunity to observe the behaviour of not just the students and police officers but also the people on the street “observing”. Thankfully, unlike recent protests there was very little unrest (a few individuals targeted by undercover officers) so most of my attention was drawn to the large [...]
A panoramic video walkthrough of Spitalfields market E1
Walkabout with the Gopano Micro After giving the lens a walkabout in borough market, I headed north of the river into the famous Spitalfields E1 market equipped with my iPhone 4s and GoPano micro. With its eclectic collection of stalls, restaurants and bars; Spitalfields is a great destination on a sunday. Watch the video below [...]
Must have app of the day – iMovie for the iPhone 4s
I’ve seen a number of comparisons of the iPhone 4s against the usual android suspects and even the Canon DSLRs (5D mkII and 7D) but none of them address the low light test. So, while visiting the Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Tate Modern, I took some test shots in the public areas and put [...]
iPhone 4 and the GoPano Micro panoramic video lens
Well, after what seems to have been a lifetime and the day before the release of the iPhone 4S, I finally received the GoPano Micro – one of the Kickstarter projects. So, what’s in the box? The two key components are a split case and the panoramic lens. The split case allows you to use [...]
INSTAGRAM CONTEST
An exhibit called “My World Shared,” will take place October 22-23rd at the East Gallery in London based on submissions by iPhone instagram users. The rules are quite simple – the exhibition is about iPhone photography, so they’re looking for photos taken and processed on an iPhone. The image below is my current submission – [...]
Dragon boat racing at the Royal docks, London
Teams from across the country compete in dragon boat races – boats with decorative dragon heads and tails that hold 20 paddlers and a drummer at the helm. There are also kung fu demonstrations, a traditional wishing tree, stalls, arts and crafts. Here’s a little flickr gallery of the early races and the wishing tree. [...]
A quick stop for a coffee and time lapse
As the sun was shining and I was in need of a coffee so I dropped into Monmouth Coffee at Borough Market. With coffee in hand, I sat down and set up my Canon EOS 7D on the trusty GorillaPod SLR and set it shooting on AV mode every 5 seconds. In hindsight, as most [...]
London to Brighton by bike
As the sun was shining (and rain was forecast for the rest of the month) I had a look around for another interesting bike ride from London to somewhere – and not Epping forest this time! One of the top hits is the every popular charity bike ride that goes from London (Clapham) to Brighton. [...]
Mountain biking close to London (City and East)
Using a bike around the city is probably one of the most dangerous methods of exercising you can do in the capital. Even with the introduction of the Cycle Super Highways, there’s nowhere that’s good from both an exercise and escape perspective. So, where can you go to enjoy the country side with out having [...]
