This summer….
Well, what is there to say about this summer? Feels like we have April lasting the whole summer… Below are two short Time-Lapse videos showing some impressions captured this summer.
A Royal Wedding
My parents came over from Luxembourg last weekend for a short visit in London. Perfectly timed for a certain wedding which happened at the same time. Below are some impressions taken around Friday the 29th April 2011.

Summer in London
Well, everybody who lives in London must have noticed it: Summer has arrived! Not a surprise then that i have spent most of the weekend out in the town, and of course had my camera with me most of the time. What is the result? More media to fill those tubes. Let’s start with some [...]

A collection of pictures taken this saturday in London.

As most of you know, I am spending a bit of time these days taking pictures in and around London. And I can now add myself to the list of people who ave been stopped by the police under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act. And a such I have now my first (probably not [...]
Canary Wharf panorama
Here is another GigaPan Panorama. This time it is a view of Canary Wharf taken from the Milwall Docks yesterday. Unfortunately the weather conditions were not perfect to take a panorama due to the fact that the clouds were moving rather fast, and as such it creates a rather unusual pattern. Anyway, enjoy. Canary Wharf [...]
Photowalking at the Southbank – more panoramas
As mentioned in the previous post, I spent yesterday afternoon walking along the Southbank along the river Thames, taking a number of panoramas using the GigaPan robotic camera mount. I have finished the stitching process and they are all up on the Gigapan.org website now. Enjoy zooming around the pictures. For a better experience, go [...]

Using the bus in London has become a joke!
I live and work in London since January 2007 and for the first time in my life I do no longer have a car. Until recently I have been rather happy with public transport in this great city. I use all means of transport, from DLR and tube to boats and buses. Especially buses can [...]
Seal, yes, a Seal in the Docklands in London
On my way back home from work I normally walk along the West India Docks at Canary Wharf. A nice, quiet and scenic path along the dock. Well, tonight, it was rather special, I couldn’t really believe what I saw. Yes, there is a seal swimming in the water. A rather unusual animal to be [...]
Playing with HD videos
I am kind of playing around with HD videos these days. The below video has been taken at yesterdays May Day Fayre in Greenwich using a Sony SR12 Full HD camcorder, converted to 720p in iMovie and then uploaded to Vimeo. The Vimeo player requires a rather powerfull machine to play these clips without problems, [...]
More Time Lapse Videos – The O2
Since it promised to be a nice and sunny day today, I decided to keep my old camera running pointed towards the O2 dome during the day to capture the view I have. The first one was recorded during the early hours of the morning and shows the dome appearing out of the fog. The [...]
The O2 – Time-Lapse video
