Fabulous pic MarmoraMan. We love seeing the same view. I also love that 'pod' on top of the Aura building, down the road on Peckham Rye. Boosboss told me he knew the man who lived in it. And you have caught it beautifully in this photo too. Is this shot from the top of your house?

Yes - saw it from dining room window and then went to the top of the house to do my best - but don't have your skill with camera.

You're too kind. But you're also wrong. This is fabulous!! I am looking forward to see the building with more on top that is visible from our flats. So I visited it on the bike last week and it is 20 Fenchurch street. I took photos but only on film. Can't wait to see the Shard's hat go on. I wonder if they will lower it on from helicopter pretty much like they did with the Canary Wharf tower. Also of course the Pinnacle and the Leadenhall Building (just found this site with the best images on it).

The F-stop number or F-ratio is the focal length divided by the effective aperture of a lens.


It expresses how much light passes through (to expose the image) as a ratio so that different lenses can be compared directly.


Yes - I was once a professional, although I haven't exposed a frame in earnest for over twenty years now.

Blimey, I just pressed the button, picked the best from a burst of images, cropped it and posted it.

I still like to see what's under the bonnet.


Your image reminds me of one of my favourite old-school photographers, Andreas Feininger (1906-1999). He was perhaps the first to expose cityscapes from a great distance using telephoto lenses. His images of New York from across the harbour are stunning. See Poster Gallery.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
