post photos you have taken in London this year on this thread. title them and list the date and location where taken, including a link to the location on streetmap if you feel so inclined. make them small enough to appear on this thread (512x384 would be great as i'd love to compile them all at the end of the year) but feel free to provide an additional link to a larger version if you so wish.

This is a really great idea, but as I don't live in London I won't contribute. Any chance you could expand it to cover the whole of the UK (or start another thread) ?

Matt, lovely as that is, this is for photos taken THIS year (CONCEPT IS EVERYTHING KTHNXBYE)

Haha. D'oh.

Here's a couple from just after New Year.

I reckon everyone should follow Steve's sizing recommendations, because it makes the thread look nice.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

looks almost Chicagoey that one (xpost)

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

try and go for sharpest quality too and avoid repetition here. i took a few of Broadgate neon square grid thing but few had decent focus! i took some more tonight and will upload tomorrow (not here tho)

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

What a great idea. This one has very little sharpness cos it's just a detail of a 2272x1704 pic.

If I'm going to contribute to this thread on a regular basis I probably need better software than iPhoto Express - the resize has done bad things to this one.

That's the thing about the North Croydon hub - it's got some lovely views if you know where to look. I keep meaning to get a camera and take pictures from the bend on Biggin Hill at night - the whole of Surrey spread out like a blanket before you. Incredible, really.

Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

WBS - it's amazing, I'm treated to that view from the top deck of the X68 every morning. What is that big white building over to the southwest? It looks about as far away as the Ikea towers but way to the right as you look south.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

How do I put a photo here? What if it's massive (about 2000 by 2000)?

The Horse of Babylon (the pirate king), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

You won't get a photo that big onto the page, nu-ILX doesn't allow it. Best to resize it to 320x240, then put an i before the pic URL.

If you can't resize it, its better to just link to the picture.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Mike - no, I'm talking about a third of the way down Biggin Hill, not Beulah - the road that goes down the side of the Norfolk Court hotel (X68 definitely doesn't go down that way). There's this bit where the road curves and dips round to the left, with the allotments sloping down ahead of you, then there's all the houses, the whole of Croydon, the downs... marvellous, really.

As for yer big white building - only thing I can think of is the White House, but that's pretty much atop Streatham Common, which, though it is way to the right, is an awful, awful lot nearer than the IKEA Towers.

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I've ever walked down Biggin Hill - I must go down there. I guess the view from the bus is more SW London fringe. It could well be the White House; I imagine I'm having the old Father Dougal distance/size dissonance again. Ooh, look at the tiny people!

That classless room photo is brilliant. Where was that taken? Is it an actual classroom* or some sort of trendy art installation.

*And if it is, what were you doing in there?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

See the link for where it was taken. It is not a trendy art installation. I was not actually in there and took the photo behind the window standing outside looking in.

I went up to the 29th floor of Centrepoint the other day for a promo shindig and took a few photos. Unfortunately my cheap camera turns everything a steely blue, so it all looks like a poorly art-directed Gotham City, and the effects of free wine meant my already shaky focus was fuzzed up still further. Nevertheless, they're here: http://stephenage.typepad.com/photos/centrepoint/index.html

I'm kicking myself for not having my camera with me this morning (the first really frosty London morning of the autumn) - from the top of Gipsy Hill, the tops of the tallest central London buildings were cast adrift in an icy haze, with St Luke's in West Norwood clear in the foreground. It looked like a city in the sky. You'll just have to imagine it.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 14 November 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

Lloyd park was looking very pretty again with the frost this morning. It's looking even prettier right now with the glorious sun, but my windows are too mucky to take a photo and it's took cold to go outside!

emsk ( emsk), Friday, 16 December 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

it looked really good from my work window yesterday evening, there was still some sunlight so the sky was purple, and the moon was showing through behind some scattered clouds. it was like a film (alas no camera either)

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 16 December 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

With modern digital cameras, you can take any old full moon and ramp up the brightness, so no need! Also it's not as if the difference was spectacular. One could still tell it was night, for instance.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 16 December 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)
