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.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
