Canary Wharf Station
The glass roof at the top of the escalator makes an interesting image with the 24mm lens.

Bouquet of Flowers
Taken during a trip to London's famous flower market, Columbia Road in Hackney.
The vibrant colours have been captured very well and the lens has picked out every pollen grain in the sunflower.

GX100 - F5.1 @ 1/320th, -0.7 EV, 100 iso, JpegFlags
Outside The Guild Hall in London I stumbled across this view, Union Jack & St. George flags displayed across a street.
GX100 - F6.5 @ 1/1000, 100 iso, Jpeg, 50mm lensNo.1
This is No.1 London Bridge, a polished pink granite 13 storey high office building.
The stainless steel and windows provides interesting reflections
GX100 - F5.1 @ 1/200th, 100 iso, Jpeg, 35mm lensChrome
An interesting steel or chrome sculpture near Cheapside in the City.
The public artworks and architecture in London is so vast, I never get bored with it.
GX100 - F9 @ 1/52th, 100 iso, JpegSteps!
Here I am playing around with my favorite 24mm angle of view!
I've been waiting for so long for a compact camera with a decent wide-angle lens
Nikon produced a camera with a 24mm lens, the Coolpix 8400 but it was not pocketable.
GX100 - F2.5 @ 1/80th, 100 iso, JpegStation Glass Roof
Every time I pass through Liverpool St Station, I am so impressed with the architecture and the design. The roof is a complex web of steel structure and glass.
GX100 - F5.8 @ 1/100th, 100 iso, jpegV&A
This is the main entrance to the Victoria & Albert Museum, Knightsbridge, London.
I was attracted by the detail and craftmanship within this stone arch.
GX100 - F6.2 @ 1/400th, 100 iso, JpegSteel & Trees
In this shot I was simply interested in the
contrast between nature and a man made structure.

GX100 - F4.3 @ 1/60th, 100 iso, JpegSharp Point!
One of those curious objects you sometimes find on your way home!
I was heading south of the river to meet some friends for a drink when
I spotted this monument near London Bridge. Made of stone or concrete is stands
at 45 degrees. Originally shot in colour but the light was very flat and uninspiring.
However, that would not stop me taking a few shots and if it doesn't work in colour,
try black and white I say.

GX100 - F5.6 @ 1/60th, 100 iso, JpegLloyds Building
One of the most impressive buildings in London and most photographed.
Always a challenge to try and come up with a new angle and I think this view is dynamic and works quite well. Pity the sky isn't more dramatic, next time perhaps!
GX100 - F8 @ 1/100th, 100 iso, JpegClose-up
I've always enjoyed macro photography and I am finding the GX100 lens suitable
for this purpose. I very much like the target AF focus point selection, where you can scroll around the screen using a cross-mark and select exactly where you want the camera to focus on.
You need to use the adjust button to enter this function
GX100 - F4 @ 1/60th, 100 iso, JpegGolden Eagle
This Golden Eagle statue can be found on London's Embankment
on the River Thames. I wanted to try the 72mm lens at maximum aperture
and check for sharpness. I also tried the digital zoom but things get really pixelated
and really only suitable for small postcard size prints.
GX100 - F4.4 @ 1/60th, 100 iso, JpegWar Memorial
I was very impressed with this bronze war memorial of an RAF pilot from the second world war. The lens has picked out all the detail and textures I could have wished for.
GX100 - F4 @ 1/40th, 100 iso, JpegSpiral Shell
This lovely Mother of Pearl spiral shell was used to test my camera with an external flash source. I used my old Sunpak 36DX with an extension adaptor fitted to the hotshoe. I used manual settings and the lens was set at 72mm in macro mode. Shutter speed was 1/500th sec but I also successfully used 1/1000th & 1/2000th sec sync speeds!
GX100 - F15.8 @ 1/500th, 80 iso, JpegThe Gherkin Building
This view of the Gherkin has only become available, because they have just demolished a tall office building which previously stood in the foreground. The architecture of this building is amazing and I never tire of looking for a new angle or a moody day to take a shot. They are re-building on this site and this view will once again disappear in a few years time.

wicked shot - as a londoner who's waiting for a GX100 to be delivered, I'm inspired by your blog!
Nice pictures again. (As someone who just got his GX100 delivered, and is leaving for London in less than two weeks;)))
Hi Alex,
Good posts. I am seriously considering a GX100. I intend to use it as a camera for overseas trips and sometimes taking portraits of my wife + chidren. Would you recommend me this then? Is the hood and the view-finder recommended? Thank you.
