Bokeh!
Bokeh is the photographic term for the background blur of photos. Just gave myself a new Christmas present, in the form of Canon’s pristine 85 f1.2 L lens.

Great Ocean Road, Victoria
The Great Ocean Road offers some of Australia’s best scenic coastline drives. During the weekend, spent much of it driving along this beautiful 243km stretch of road between Torquay and Warrnambool.

Sam & Lilly-Mai – Autumn Portraits
Samantha and her daughter Lilly-Mai, made excellent subjects in the ever changing conditions at Danson Park. The leaves started to fall just a couple of weeks back, creating a perfect opportunity to head out for some fun shots.

Drift 08 – London Photography Meetup
We had our 5th London Photography Meetup (facebook group), based around the Drift 08 – first annual art exhibition based on the Thames. Around 30 fellow photographers came, armed with tripods to capture the art between Blackfriars bridge and Tower bridge.

Waterloo Graffiti
Leake Street, which runs underneath Waterloo station, used to be a taxi rank for the past ten years, until Waterloo International was closed when Eurostar moved to St Pancras Station. Earlier in 2008, a graffiti show was unveiled, featuring work of Banksy and ever since, it has remained legal to paint as you wish. Spent most of the afternoon here with fellow photographers, before heading to Blackfriars bridge for the big meetup.
