London skyline reflected in office windows.

I took this one on London's south bank in March 2015. The windows are part of the Financial Times offices next to Southwark Bridge. The golden hue of the reflected buildings on the opposite side of the river was created by the setting sun.

Camera/lens settings: ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/40s, 42mm, hand held.

Dusty glass light fitting at London Zoo.

These little glass bulbs (and many more of them) are suspended over the staircase down to the nocturnal animals section of London Zoo, where we visited last week. I didn't have time to get a really sharp picture as we were keen to move on and see the animals, but I think this photo still represents how lovely they all looked. It was only when zooming in to check sharpness that I realised how dirty the bulbs are (there's a brown layer of dust clinging to each one). I wonder if anyone considered what a nightmare they'd be to clean before installing them!

Camera/lens settings: ISO 400, f/1.8, 1/15s, 35mm, hand held.

Glass butterfly in the sunshine

A macro shot tonight - this is one of those little glass butterflies that you put around the base of plants as decoration and/or protection from frost etc. This is one of several scattered around the base of my blueberry bush - they shine beautifully in the sunshine.

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/3.5, 1/1000s, 90mm, hand held.

Sun-lit wilting daffodils in a glass jug

I took this one a year ago when first trying out my new macro lens at home. These daffodils in a cut-glass jug were on my kitchen window sill, back-lit by the sunshine. They were past their best, which is a way I particularly like to photograph flowers. I liked the way the sun made their petals almost transparent and highlighted their ragged edges.

Coke glass on metal dish drainer

Bit of an obscure one tonight! I took this when I was first experimenting with my new macro lens earlier this year. I deleted most of the other experimental shots but hung on to it because I really like the mixture of lines and patterns.

I converted it to black and white, although there was hardly any colour in it anyway, and reduced exposure slightly.
