Hey Beano, what's up? How goes it

Hey Scott, **** load of traffic in the centre of London today, another demo' going by westminster, anyone know what thats about??

I don't often have to take a works van into the centre but we are putting in 5 large steam boilers at Scotland Yard so had to venture in today, should have brought the camera really.

Probably back in tomoz first thing, then off for a little explore on a new hospital location

Not sure about any protests going on, but many traffic light systems are not currently under computer control, and are running in their default modes. this can increase the congestion considerably.

Oh, check out one of our news sites, very handy if your travelling into town!:

Anyone else read this? More of the same, it's really getting to be a problem.


Afternoon Salma

That's just plain nuts! How come that officer is not in trouble? Its obvious he doesn't know the law properly.

Chris, I'm up for the 12th as well depending on where exactly it is and how exactly I feel after Saturday.

Cool. Dunno where yet. The weather looks like being good so coastal might be on the cards.

well just put the new lens on!
85mm f/1.2L II

Very nice! damn heavy though!

I see what people were syaing about slow focus, not a problem though.

Here's a couple of snaps at F/1.2

Looking great. So narrow though!

Nah there is something defo' going on outside westminster, on the grass area right in front of the abbey, loads of people, tents and a police cordon with bollards up. looks peaceful enough but playing havoc with the traffic

It's all good.

CS3 turned up this morning, so just playing with my Hellingly shots at the moment. Everything's taking me an absolute age, as i haven't used it in a while lol!

It was on the news, protesters staging a sit down or something?

If anyone sees an 82mm UV filter on the floor in Sevenoaks, it's mine.

I know! I'm beginning to think they don't like me

Luckily I have a spare, but it has a tiny tiny scratch on it. Hopefully it won't affect anything.

Anke, just stop using UVs altogether IMO (unless you only use it for sealing on the 16-35)

Did anyone say anything about must do's while i'm in the UK, I am now in singapore and will get there friday I think...

There is a good argument for that for sure, but having ground one UV on something in my pockets and smashed two others completely, I'm sure they've saved my lenses in the past.

Must do's eh? Errr, how long are you spending here?

Can't say I've seen these guys over toward the Weald before. They normally hang out in deepest Surrey don't they?
