B030 – 1 down 11 months to go

joshfspearLeave a comment

So after exactly a month of taking and uploading three photos a day, I know appreciate how hard this type of stuff is and the amount of gear you have to carry with you. for the last month it feel like Ive always had my bag on my back, with the camera and my laptop top, but along the way I am slowly picking up more and more gear which Im not sure is a good or bad thing. 1 down 11 months to go.

 

anyway, yesterday. my bank holiday started with a run, Im training for something kind of big, but will give that an introduction in a few weeks, I want to have some sick pictures ready and then tell you all about it. after that I ended up at homeslice, somewhere you can get a decent sized pizza and then onto anders hours for a “Bro down”

working at the hackney half yesterday was a good old summer event, I had alot of fun see some old chums and watching the runners pass that finish line. it was abit of an early start and meant I had to wake up at 4 in the morning on bank holiday sunday, but lucky anders left his bike at mine so I meant i got to ride there at stupid o clock in the morning.

B027 – THE NEW LENS

joshfspearLeave a comment

So yesterday I got a new lens, 24-105, now for a lot of people that doesn’t mean anything and for more people thats an OK lens. but up to this point I’ve been using a 50mm 1.8 (the cheap of all cheap lenses). So im pretty excited to now have some zoom, can start having abit more fun with my camera and hopefully improve my pictures. Any way heres a few snaps that Ive taken last night and then some from this morning.

Better snaps to come.

B026 – I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WINE

joshfspearLeave a comment

So last night I ended up in some wine bar, trying to guess the region, grape and something else todo with the wine and if you guess it right you get it for free. so I had a pop, I tasted a bit and said it was Californian from the north shore and a mean grape. the wine turned out to be from italy and “mean grape” isn’t actually a thing.

Heres a few snaps of the evening.

B026-1
– a fruity wine, with a hint of flowers it what the waiter said –

B022 – ITS A MONKEY THING

joshfspearLeave a comment

So yesterday, I was in camden being an absolute tourist which is something im not proud of but it does have its perks. After walking around for hours We (amy and me) ended up at London Zoo possibly the most expensive entry fee this side of ibiza, £30 per person. So I canned off all the other photos I took to show you three pictures of the monkey’s.

joshfspearLeave a comment

Yesterday it was 420, so in aid of this day I thought I would share an interesting fact I found out about Trees and Green spaces in London:

London has enough trees to be classed as a forest, with a total of around 8.4 million trees. thats about 1 tree for every person.

Have a look at these snaps for some pretty cool but random facts on trees in London.

B019-1
– 47 percent of London is green space –
B019-1 copy
– Trees remove roughly 2,261 tonnes of pollution from London year year.
B019-1-2
– trees prevent about 10 x the water in the serpentine from entering or flooding our drains each year –
B019-1-4
– Trees on residential streets have proven to increase house prices by as much as 15% – Booom

B018 – A BEER ON BETHNAL GREEN ROAd

joshfspearLeave a comment

top three places to have a beer on bethnal green road, enough said. have a pop down and see for yourself.

B018-1-3
–  No 1. cheap and the best place to watch the footie and have a good chit chat and on Thursday’s sing some Karaoke (cash only)
B018-1-2
– No 2. for the late night beer, always a good laugh and some times a random guy is sat in the corner playing the guitar  –  
B017-1
– no 3. The pay day location, a bit more pricey but they serve a drink with 7 different rums which is always a good idea – 

 

 

B017 – what can I take pictures of?!?!

So last night my good chum anders and me were working on a project which just isn’t going the way it should do. at like 9′ O clock with out taking a single proper photo all day (apart from an idea I thought would work, but completely failed) we trekked out to a bridge over the motorway in Hackney and got a few bangers, well I think they are bangers.

Ave a look.
