Barge and Lights

It's just 2 days back at work and I'm already back on the night shots at Canary Wharf malarky...

Tonight's effort was taken at West India Quay, the barge is in fact a floating church.!

I am now officially fed up with winter and night shots and can't wait for the evenings to get brighter (and warmer)... Whilst I am fed up, I won't be promising you no more shots like this as after a day in the office, sometimes there just isn't much to snap...

Talking of looking forward for brighter and warmer days, read today that December was officially the coldest December ever recorded - with an average daytime temperature below freezing! No shit Sherlock!!!!!!

Heard today I have a new nickname... A friend asked if I would go with her to buy a P&S... why me I asked "Well... you are the Camera Man..!!!" Hmmm... not really sure about that!
I think this is a lovely composition, made even better by the b&w. I've enjoyed your night shots!

Hi Camera Man, love these reflections. You know what I've missed these CW shots. I was actually glad to get back to work due to a paucity of photo options round the house...
January 6th, 2011  
Brilliant clarity! I love all the lights and reflections. Just stunning.

Hi Camara Man, if the shoe fits !!!! Not much to snap?? you make Canary Wharf look amazing. I will miss them but look forward to seeing your summer shots. This looks great BTW

Impressive view :)

I love this, the patterns of the lights are just awesome! I suppose I shouldn't be complaining about the 50 F weather that we're having here in California, but it is soooo cold for me too, hang in there :)
January 6th, 2011  
Camera Man suits you! Yes! I like that!

I also LOVE the reflection in this night shot! Wow!

You always come up with a good one Andy. That's why you're 'the Camera-man'!
January 6th, 2011

January 6th, 2011  
andy...this is an amazing shot...

striking, vibrant, moving.

Love this in B&W, the way the barge brakes up the rows of squares between the buildings and the reflections is brilliant. So hear you about the dark and cold and tiredness of winter - just waiting for a little more sun on either side of the work day.

B&W is perfect for this shot. Really like this photo. You new title does remind me of a song by Dennis Mitchell and the Wilsons entitled Camera Man of their Hot Pink Suit album...

I know what you mean about the dark, but at least you have these marvelous lights to shoot. Terrific stuff!

I think this is a fantastic shot.. gorgeous.. and so so clear.
January 8th, 2011  
I love this shot - very metropolis but love the boat in there - tempers the starkness.
January 9th, 2011  
"hey camera man".....a typical andy shot, i need to pick up on the night shots again. waiting for the 365 to pass first.
January 9th, 2011  
oooh the camera man haha can I just call you C-man for short? After spending a week in England where the sun never seems to poke out of the clouds and the hours of daylight seems so short I can totally understand your night shots! Funny how I had to relearn how to take pictures. In the end I took mostly shots indoors at higher iso's.
