I trudged across the snowy moorland to get a shot of this interesting looking tree.

Pooh’s Place
Well, this isn’t the One-Hundred Acre Wood, but who knows. Maybe Pooh has started expanding with all his movie royalties, or maybe there are multiple Pooh’s?

In a lonely place
Despite the bleak and empty look of the scene, this tree is actually bang next to a busy road (see, there I go, ruining the atmosphere…). I think it’s a location that I’ll pay further visits to in different conditions. I think it will be a pretty nice all-weather subject.

Sandwiches
I’m digging this one out of the archive (it was taken 13-months ago). A fairly mundane subject, but the mundane stuff is often what I like, and the low December sun illuminating this sandwich shop caught my eye on the day and was worth the shot I think.

St. Paul’s looms in the background
This small pedestrian street in London has an amazing composition of St. Paul’s cathedral, with the dome and columns perfectly framed between the buildings. The Tmax P3200 allowed me to get this shot handheld.

Skyline abstract
From a walk around the City of London before a Christmas get-together with colleagues. Although dusk was settling (it was a gloomy, rainy day) when I took this, the P3200 has rendered everything nice and bright.

Winter rushes
I’m still embracing the grain, with another shot here from my first roll of Tmax P3200. I know it’s not to all tastes, but I think it can add a certain charm.

Transmission lines
While this is just a quick grab shot, I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with electrical transmission lines, pylons, poles etc. I think it comes from the old “Play Safe” public information films that used to air in the UK in the 70s. Not only did I have a slightly morbid interest in the danger they posed to the unwary, I would also wonder about where the lines would take me if I were to follow their routes. Sometimes, if I could get my hands on an Ordnance Survey map, I’d trace the paths they took from the places I’d seen them to discover their points of origin and places of termination.
While I don’t go out of my way to photograph these things, they’re always a tempting subject when I see them.
While a slower film would’ve been good for this shot, I don’t think the gritty look of the Tmax P3200 does the shot any disservice.

Between the lines
A lone figure sits on a bench near the lifts in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Slightly unnerving
This huge hare-headed woman is at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (not far from a circle of beautifully crafted animal head sculptures – albeit them being on a much smaller scale). They’re impressive to see but, like some of the other sculpted figured dotted around the park, can be oddly unnerving.
