What, Blibs talent? I've got x20 zoom and its a no-show, what macro lens are you using?

It's as plain to see as the curfew tag on your ankle, im.

The only thing deserving of one of Her Majestys ankle bracelets around these parts is the fraudulent descriptions you offer of your "pictures".

Ah.....I see. Well I'm more of a listening type and have spent about 2 hours a day on this site, over the last six years. So I am here in spirit.

I only tend to post if really need to get something off my chest, or feel I can contribute constructively to one of the PH online conversations, with which I believe I have done so here

At the risk of derailing the thread, how about shots of 122 Leadenhall Street and 20 Fenchurch Street, as both are pretty prominent now? Obviously these should be from the Bilbian School of photography to remain in keeping with the topic to date

I took a few today. I think I have some way to go before I can reach Blib's standards, although some may disagree

20 Fenchurch Street, aka the Walkie Talkie. 36 floors, 160m tall, with floors getting bigger as you go higher (hence "the building with more up top"). The steelwork is mostly in place now with the exception of a few more floors that will form a curved roof.






122 Leadenhall Street, aka the Cheese Grater. 48 floors, 225m tall, no central core (the yellow superstructure, and extensive bracing, together take the place of the core). This one has quite a way to go before it reaches its final height.






5 Broadgate, aka the new UBS headquarters. 12 floors, and not a lot to see at the moment apart from one of the cores.

Virtual pint for the first intrepid photographer who gets the Shard clad in snow!

How's that gonna work exactly...you know....what with the Shard being a steep slope on all sides......"sticky snow"?

If the required blizzard doesn't materialise, just photoshop it

So fake a picture in order to claim the reward of a fake pint?

Righto - Stand back, I think I hear a stampede.
