The #ChristmasTree in #London's #CoventGarden. A crowd is gathered on the piazza to watch a street performer ply their trade.

I haven't been in #London for a good few weeks as have been away, but saw tonight that all the #Christmas lights have been put up on #OxfordStreet and #RegentStreet already.

There's something really nice about how London looks getting towards Christmastime. 🎄

Shot with #SonyXperia PRO-I with the #Sirui 1.33x #AnamorphicLens adapter.

Went out to play with the #Sirui 1.33x #anamorphic adapter for mobile phones earlier today, shooting a sunrise at #HadleighCastle in #Essex.

Initially, I wanted to get an anamorphic lens with neutral-coloured flare for my full frame camera, but seeing this makes me just want to stick with the blue flare which most people associate with anamorphic lenses.

I was hoping to catch some of the #Orionid meteor shower tonight, but as I was setting up and doing test shots, it started clouding over.

But here's quite a clear shot, before the clouds got in the way, of #Jupiter (that bright thing towards the top right) and the #Pleiades (the cluster of stars towards the top left).

Shot with #LeicaQ3.

This photograph catches the moment that the jet of water and superheated steam burst through the surface of the water at the Strokkur geyser, Iceland.

My last trip was the first trip I ever made out of #HeathrowAirport's #Terminal2, but it wasn't actually the first time I've been to T2.

I was one of the lucky test passengers pretending to board fake flights to stress test the terminal before it opened for real.

It's nice to be back and NOT miss my actual flight though, as during the testing phase, despite arriving on time, I missed my fake flight due to the way the queues and the systems crashing.

Although I have had my #photography published internationally, I think the most meaningful publication I've had to date is in a report on the #RuleOfLaw by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Institute and the Bar Human Rights Committee of England & Wales published last year (2022).
