\"West<\/p>\n

After selling a few photos recently I was able to justify shelling out for a Lumix 14mm-45mm zooms lens for my Panasonic Lumix GF-1<\/a> camera.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In case you’re not familiar with the camera, the GF-1 uses the Micro Four Thirds system, offering near-dSLR quality images, removable lens and high end controls in a compact package considerably smaller than a regular SLR.<\/p>\n

It’s a great ‘bigger brother’ to the Lumix LX3 compact camera<\/a> – my favourite small digital snapper – and when used with the nifty 17mm ‘pancake’ lens, is a great street shooting camera.<\/p>\n

In the above photo you can see the old Borders store<\/a> in Charing Cross Road, London, with the name of its previous owners, The Sun Electrical Co Ltd clearly visible.<\/p>\n

The store is set to reopen as a TK Maxx fashion shop.<\/p>\n

All the photos were blasted off in the camera’s excellent ‘iA’ auto mode, with occasional exposure compensation tweaks. This is Soho Square, a short walk away from the bustle and hustle of Oxford Street.<\/p>\n

This monster pile driver is near the junction of Charing Cross Road and Oxford Street, and is part of the major works involved in the Crossrail project.<\/p>\n

You can clearly see the reflection of\u00a0 the Telecom Tower<\/a> in this shot of Euston tower near\u00a0 Warren Street tube station.<\/p>\n
