A second version of this image lightened up a little. (Lightroom seems to export darker than I intend...)

I thought I would try a slightly different viewpoint on the famous statue of John Betjeman at St Pancras station in London.

Feb 22: channelling Todd

At the Taylor-Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition this year they featured photographs by Todd Hido. As I liked his portraits, I bought a book of his photographs ("Intimate distance") to discover his portraits were quite a departure from his usual style. One of his earlier collections was called "House Hunting" which is a series of quite ordinary US houses photographed at night, with one prominent lit window. He uses a unusual, unrealistic colour palette. As I had failed to take an image earlier today, I thought I would channel Todd and take an image in the spirit of his work. This image was created by using five bracketed images so that I could get both the window without blown highlights, but also the shadows of the trees in the moonlight.

This was taken in low light hand held. It is part of an abstract sculpture outside the Crick Building near St Pancras, London. I considered it for today's "Single in..." photo but decided on a different image.

This statue is in Queen's Square, London, and is dedicated to Andrew Miller by the Friends of Great Ormond Street hospital. I have given it a sepia tone in Lightroom which seems to suit the subject, and tones down the distracting grass in the background.

The theme for today's "Single in February" challenge was bokeh/blur so I went for the rusty bridge across the railway with what is left of the Shredded Wheat factory in the background. It was raining. Again!
