Day 247 ‘London Bikes 2’ – 31/07/10

Another photo celebrating the launch of the London Bike Hire scheme and the new cycle paths in the city.

“A bike hire scheme designed to encourage thousands more cycle journeys in central London has begun. So far, more than 12,000 people have signed up to the idea, far outstripping the 5,000 bicycles which will be available at special docking stations. Transport for London (TfL) has admitted it had been expecting “teething problems”. But it insisted that although members outnumbered the number of bikes, people would not face a shortage. Already, more than 12,450 keys have been handed out to Londoners enabling them to unlock bikes left at 315 docking points across the city. The keys cost £3 and the cost of using the cycles varies from £1 for an hour to £50 for 24 hours. TfL and operator Serco expect to roll out the scheme to casual users after a month.” From the BBC News Website

Day 246 ‘London Bikes 1’ – 30/07/10

Todays photo is celebrating the launch of the London Bike Hire scheme and the new cycle paths in the city. This shot is deliberately juxtaposing the new cycle highway markings next the the wheels of a car.

Day 245 ‘Nuclear Sunset’ – 29/07/10

Long day, so this is a somewhat last minute shot capturing the sun setting over the Limehouse Link in London’s Docklands.

Day 244 ‘Any Which Way You Can’ – 28/07/10

Beautiful sunny morning on my way to work today, i took a mini detour before getting into Canary Wharf to capture this photo.

Day 243 ‘Lolipop’ – 27/07/10

This is a light on a wall near my home, i’ve been meaning to take this shot for a while. After adding borders for the first time with yesterdays shot, i felt this needed a little something again for the composition. This time i found the setting to add the white line between the photo and the black borders, which i think makes a big improvement. The borders are done using the BorderFX plugin in Aperture 3.0.

Day 242 ‘Two Tone’ – 26/07/10

Simple minimalist shot for today,  just a small patch of wall near the bus stop on the way home from work. I liked the stark blue and white paint, and the way the pipe crossed the boundaries.

Day 241 ‘Empty Seat’ – 25/07/10

Not sure what this plastic seat is/was doing in the park, but i liked the way it looked sitting alone on the path. So here is a nice minimalist shot of a plastic seat in a park!

Day 241 ‘Heron’ – 25/07/10

Walking the dog this morning, we spotted this heron on what appears to be some new junk washed up on the shores of the Thames.

Day 240 ‘Twenty’ – 24/07/10

A simple shot of a patch of wall on Wapping High Street, deliberately muted the colours to give a slightly retro feel, like the different patterns and light in this shot.

Day 239 ‘My Hero Redux’ – 23/07/10

I wasn’t really happy with the photo as it was for Day 239. Partly as it didn’t seem to fit the Project 365 to date, but also because i didn’t feel it really captured the moment. As i was walking home today i thought that perhaps trying to cartoon up some of the sequence of shots to almost story board the moment might be better. So here is an almost Grange Hill (English TV Reference) style comic book sequence of Mike meeting Desmond Douglas!
