Rain

It has been hot and humid with rain expected for a couple of days. Yesterday afternoon the rain came with a few bursts of thunder. Lovely big drops of rain. Relief from the humidity at last.
I do love taking pictures in the rain, I just need to work out a better way to hold the umbrella when my camera is in two hands.

Light and Shadows

This totem pole stands in the entrance of the British Museum. The wonderful shadows cast are courtesy of the sun through the amazing glass ceiling.
This is the perfect place to practice your photography skills with light and colour balance. You have natural light and artificial light, several shades of white. What's more you wont be thrown out or confronted about spending hours taking pictures. That's not always easy to find in London.
