28/01/09: Horrible drizzly day in town, break in the rain and I took this photo by Blackfriars bridge.

Day 57
27/01/09: Day in town! A clear nice day, this photo was trying to catch reflections in the water from the HMS Belfast.
Day 55
25/01/09: Clear calm day. Reflections from the blue sky and a bit of wake from passing boats.
Day 50
Day 20: Late afternoon, and I just coat one of the Thames Clipper boats as it past. So on the right is the actual spray from right behind the inboard engines. A clear blue sky and nice sparkling reflections.
Day 49
Day 19: A bit windier today so some waves but this is cheating, it's boat wake. ;) Still, I love the froth.
Day 48
Day 18: Just back from Dorset ride (which is why there are no images from the last week!) and soooo tired. Just a late afternoon photo, facing west, at the usual pier in Greenwich
Day 38
08/01/09: A lovely misty day, just near dusk.
You can just hear the quiet lapping of the water at low tide. I took this standing way out underneath the pier looking west.
Day 37
7/1/09: Different camera! Used the 300D near dusk to see if the low-light abilities on automatic would be better. And boy are they.
Quite a low tide but I walked down to the water edge and waited for one of the commuter boats to go past. A great pattern of wake and calm with lights from the flats (condos, for the Americans) across the water reflected. And the start of a wave catching the debris below to crash over on itself.
Day 36
6/1/09: A very dark photo, but I tried not to go out so late as yesterday, from the Canon A1000, only barely getting some of the pink dusk light on the horizon. Calm, high tide.
Day 35
5/1/09: A late visit to the river tonight I'm afraid - so another 'artsy' photo of the flash reflecting straight up off the water.
Day 34
4/1/09: Splashes on the riverbed rocks and debris at Greenwich. This camera is no good for any action, will be switching to the 300D for Greenwich shots.
Day 32
2/1/09: A very heavily altered image! I couldn't resist, playing with levels on a very dark (nearly black onscreen) image gave so much colour and tone information. Amazing really.
Looking straight down to the water from the river wall railing, slight shadows on either side are from the wall supports.
Day 29
29/12/08: Splashing waves on the river bed, usual spot in Greenwich under Lovell's Wharf pier.
Day 28
28/12/08: Mini surf on the river! If only gnomes had surfboards, this is where they'd be today. Blustery winds giving constant lapping of waves on the foreshore, just near the Trafalgar Tavern.
Day 26
26/12/08: Enjoying Boxing Day! The light is just right to pick out a good contrast between the river bed and the murky water today.
Day 25
25/12/08: Merry Christmas! A brisk walk into Greenwich and I walked down the steps to the water - just somewhere between low and high tide. Water making nice circular lapping patterns as it *just* passes neatly over the stone step.
Day 24
24/12/08: Christmas Eve... and so so calm down by the river. Almost no movement, just very slight ripples on the water underneath the Lovell's Wharf pier.
