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 use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......
