The old #JubileeLine terminus at #CharingCross Station is still connected to the active Jubilee Line and is sometimes used as a central #London depot for engineering trains or even spare passenger stock to bring out during surges in passenger numbers following events at the O2 or at Wembley.

It's been a while since I've managed to write anything #photography related on my site. I just kept getting writer's block and so didn't force myself. But now I've finally managed to pen a new piece!
So here's my practical real world shooting experience as to why "downgrading" from #FullFrame to #MicroFourThirds wasn't really downgrade.
More #Aurora goodness from #Yellowknife, #NorthwestTerritories, #Canada (it's Canada, not the USA!).
Shot with #OMSystem, #OM1MarkII with the OM 8 mm f/1.8 Fisheye Pro.
I love this frame which visually embodies the concepts of "mujo" (無常) and "mono no aware" (物の哀れ).
"Mujo" is Buddhist concept of impermanence and "mono no aware" is finding beauty in life due to this impermanence.
I penned the following haiku in Japanese and English inspired by this frame.
花が咲く
いつも儚い
命かな
Cherry blossoms bloom
Always so ephemeral
Alas, such is life
A little late for peak cherry blossom season this year, but I rather like this shot I managed to get because it visually highlights in one frame the ephemeral and temporary nature of the cherry blossom.

Went into my garden today with the #OM1MarkII and the #OMSystem 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 beast to see how it would do when shooting the moon using the tripod high res mode at 80 megapixels.
It gives a lot of latitude for cropping without losing too much resolution. I was able to get this framing which at a 100 per cent would be at 3000 x 3000 pixels.
/> I used the #OMSystem #OM1MarkII's high res mode to create a stacked photo of the night sky, which gave my shot extra details and lower noise at 50 megapixels. Scaling it back down to 20 megapixels to match the single shot foreground resolution helped make it look even less noisy, as well as made it look sharper.
I merged the single shot foreground with the stacked shot of the stars, and added some noise across the frame to make the noise pattern more even across the whole frame.

A shot of the night sky taken with the 8 mm fisheye lens of the night sky. The shot features (among other things) the #MilkyWay, the #AndromedaGalaxy and the red and green hues of a weaker display of the #AuroraBorealis.
