London 10. Chrstmas Evening Walk Around Bloomsbury

We had a walk around the British Musem area after our Christmas supper - very few people around. I hadn't noticed in the daytime how many telephone boxes are still in use in London. We were apalled at the large number of rough sleepers in the area around Euston - many more than previously. As it was quiet we were able to use tripods giving good depths of field.

London 9. Christmas Day Morning Walk to Camden Lock

A very grey morning for our walk to Camden Lock and back along the tow path to King's Cross so images are very much a record to show the area when it is deserted rather than our previous visit when the Market was in full swing and the sun shone - https://pin-sharp.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/london-walk-kings-cross-to-camden-lock_26.html. 

The Carreras Cigarette Factory is a large art deco building, an example of Egyptian Revival architecture. The building was erected in 1926-28 by the Carreras Tobacco Company and converted to offices in 1961. Always wondered where Mornington Crescent Station was - here with Top Man in his Santa Hat. Camden has the best Living Wall I have seen. The walk along the canal was quiet and King's Cross looked quite lonely all closed up.

London 8. Piccadilly Transport

After a visit to the Cinema and a Chinese meal, we visited Piccadilly Circus to photograph the flow of people, bikes, cars, taxis and buses at this busy junction All images 1/15th sec with the first images a stack of six images.

London 7. Oxford Street Area on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we headed down to Oxford Street, Carnaby Street and Leicester Square to look at the decorations etc. I tried so slow shutterspeed shoppers - 1/15 worked well for blurred background (first image) but pretty low hit rate for sharp shoppers so settled on 1/30th. Otherwise concentrated on the ubiquitous mobile phone being used for calls, music,location and photos
