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've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
