Out in the Fog

I’ll be honest, the weather is annoying me.

Today was another day where the light was struggling because the weather was shite.

But, being a photographer means going to get photos regardless of the weather, right?

So, off I went.

And the first thing I got was… Not much.

I like the mood and atmosphere of this one. But blimey…

It felt like even the Summicron lens on my camera was saying: What the hell do you want me to do with that?

So, I had a look around and made friends with some pigeons.

But I kept working. And you know what?

I started to warm up. I caveat that with: I mean photographically. I had to stop for a Costa Cappuccino because it was bloody freezing out there.

Literally.

Meanwhile, here’s hoping for sunshine. It’ll make a nice change.
