January 3rd 2012 - Goldsmiths

3rd January 2012

Today's shot is one of the most striking bits of architecture in London, and at my old university, The Ben Pimlott Building at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The £10.2m building, which houses rooms for the visual arts, psychology and computing departments, was built by architects Alsop and Partners, who also designed the award winning Peckham Library in south London.
The building itself is clad in metal on three sides, with the remaining side constucted entirely from glass. There’s also a “metal structural scribble” on the side of the building, as seen in the capture here.

January 2nd 2012 - Mugen

 

2nd January 2012

One thing you readers will learn over the remaning 364 days is that I'm a bit of a petrol head, so naturally, best thing to do with a pay rise?

Buy a bonkers car.


And thus meet the pride and joy, Honda Civc Type-R Mugen 200 number 49 of only 200 ever made which untill today I hadn't  taken a photo of... despite owning it 2 months.

January 1st 2012 - New Years Day

1st January 2012

On New Years day every year, London's Lord Mayor has a New Years Day Parade.


This shot was complicated slightly by being 8 rows back in the crowd.


Setting my camera to a -2, 0, 2 AEB mode, the camera was remotley triggered while mounted on a monopod held up over the crowd.
