Face-down.... underground.... sort of

Been meaning to find a tunnel for months.

I'll probably come back here for other shots sometime. Don't think Shana really understood what was going on, but anything to get out of the house pleases her.

The interval timer shooting function on the D300 came in useful here. I simply set it up to take 300 photos at 1 second intervals, then wandered along the tunnel & lay down. Clearly I walk at 2 paces per second because every shot has me in the same pose with the same foot in the air as I walk along & return. Will make a short video of this over the next few days as it is pretty funny. Much easier than using a remote & more reliable too. (Done - video here)

I like blue and green! Urban colors as seen under the DLR bridge in London, with the towers of Canary Wharf in the background...

Docklands is the semi-official name for an area in East and South East London, comprising parts of several boroughs (Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich). The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 but has since become virtually universally adopted. It also created conflict between the new and old communities of the London Docklands.

Popular culture

Charles Dickens makes frequent use of the riverside and docklands in novels such as Our Mutual Friend and Great Expectations, and there is a memorable description of the docks, their buildings and people, in Joseph Conrad's The Mirror of the Sea. The Docklands are also the location of District 1, the most functional section of Britain during the outbreak of Rage Virus and the headquarters for Army Officials in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's 2007 movie 28 Weeks Later.Link
