In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

What were you doing in London?
Meeting with a friend, touring the National Gallery, exploring the Camden street markets, and attending a dinner party.
Cool photo. All my night time photos like this come out crap. It’d be nice for photographic newbies such as myself if you posted a one-line explanation of what it took to get a shot to work :)
The Turkey photos are great too. And irritating since I visited most of the same places but my shots are nowhere near as good!
Lee,
I used my mini tripod for this shot. Otherwise, it would have been a hopeless blur. The shutter speed was 1/2 second.
The same technique was essential for most of the indoor stuff in Turkey. If your shutter speed is not faster than 1/(the focal length of the lens you are using), you will get photos marred by camera shake.
