London Town.

Since my aim for this trip was to capture photos with no tourists in the way, this was the final successful shot before our meal in chinatown.

Result of one of the photography society workshops. We waited for a foggy night and decided to photograph some eerie scenes in the park. We came across this little isle of trees and I had the idea to put a flash behind it. What you see here is a long exposure with 10+ flash fires.

Big Eye.

Not much to tell here. Just London silhouettes against a pretty dramatic sky.

Eye’m In the 70’s?

Had a bit of fun in lightroom with this one to make it different from my other shots from the day. Tried to make it look like a shot from a film(analog)-film(movie)… From the 70’s, as if it was recreated in the 90’s… (hence the blue tint rather than reddish purple).

Shadows Of London.

Lots of darkness here. It was quite a bright day in fact. I put a radial filter on the kids in the corner to bring them kit against the shadows.

Ghost.

Trinket.

Although obscenely overpriced. These cheap shiny things make quite nice bokeh. It’s a shame shop owners ban photography of their “work” (bulk buying for 1p/crate) by placing the official Piece of Paper with some ink on it.

Trails (#40045)

Probably the best spin-trail shot I’ve taken. It’s hard to not get the light over the subject’s face. I guess I was really lucky here. How to do it: Longish exposure (0.5sec) Rotate camera as the photo is being taken.
