Westminster all day for ITV filming, so here’s some alternative pictures of Elizabeth Tower and the Houses of Parliament. Plus, the little known view from opposite No 10, Downing Street, looking towards the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

This is your Bakerloo London Underground service. Stopping at Hacking Cough, Sticky Floor, Damp Patches and Funny Smell. Those wishing to travel to Threatening Stare, please change at Strangely Brown. There are signalling problems and a short delay at Sweaty Pits. Mind the gap.

Southsea, Portsmouth. A grand day out people watching, fish and chips and a cheeky pint in the sun. Marvellous.

There’s only one real person of Presidential honour in this picture. That person is President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The other is Russian sympathiser Captain Bone-spurs who dodged his own military duty when his country needed him, and is a disgrace to his own country and people. Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Timeline cleanse for you all this grey and drizzly Friday evening. 2 videos of a lively set of waves at Southsea, Portsmouth beach in Slo-Mo. I got wet trainers for this…

As Valentines Day approaches, be careful of romance scams and fraud. A few days ago, I went on a raid with the City of London Police for ITV News, resulting in one scammers day being ruined…

A privilege to film with Felix last week. From catastrophic injury as a child, to World Champion. (Not long enough on video here, so Threads link.) www.threads.net/@ukcameraman...

Either the sun is setting, or it’s the great fire of old London town all over again. Meanwhile new London looks on and laughs whilst chewing on a fat cigar and sipping a fine Pinotage.

I would watch this. Or Rising Damp, but they’re all cannibalistic arty types, sharing the body of whoever rents room 101… Or Fawlty Towers where you can check out any time, but you can never leave..? Any more..?

Not far off then..! I seriously had to convince myself not to go up and check. It was uncanny.

It’s been quite the day today filming wise, with a location some of you may recognise if you’ve ever been in the thick of it, and memories from long ago at Television Centre.

Got a better film coming on BBC soonish… I will let you know.

It was a small bit jammed into a larger piece, it got cut to a 20 second clip with overlaid GV’s… I didn’t even bother to screen record it…

Thank you ITV News, for giving me some filming work in London tomorrow. I’m forever grateful that I won’t have to watch the orange shitgibbon get inaugurated.

Filming for BBC News today, using all the MoJo toys on one film… happiness is in gadget form.

Even the BFI chap was impressed by the picture quality when played back to him…

ukcameraman @ukcameraman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
Yes and no, I’ll use a mid sized camera for some controlled zoom work, but otherwise, yes along with the drone (sub 250g) and two DJI Osmo Actions Pro and the 360 camera. All the toys tomorrow.

ukcameraman @ukcameraman.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
Have been full MoJo (using a iPhone 16 Pro Max mobile phone as the primary camera) so far this week, with visits to the BFI and elsewhere in London for ITV News. More tomorrow with BBC. Trust me, after lugging huge pieces of kit for 28 years, my back and shoulders approve.

The view from my London club room tonight. Tidy. It’s a military hotel for members in case you were wondering, I’m not a member of the Garrick. Day 2 for ITV news tomorrow.

Day 1 of 2 with ITV News. All trains to London Waterloo from the South cancelled. Yes, I’m inconvenienced for 2 or 3 hours, but the reason why is tragic.

If you’re lucky, you’re on this earth for maybe, what, 70, 80 years? Is it really too much to ask you to just leave other people alone and let them try to have a nice life without being be an absolute nob head about it?
