Borough Market
Evening at the Borough Market in London…
From my last visit to London - the interesting and beautiful Borough Market. I’m visiting London again soon, and hope to pop over here for some shopping and a few photographs as well.
The Tower Bridge
A long exposure of the Tower Bridge in London…
I’m excited to return to London really soon! London has been my favorite city for a long time, and I will return soon and wander those beautiful streets once again. I captured this on my last visit. I put on my 10 stop filter and took a long exposure here of the Tower Bridge. That long exposure helped smooth out the choppy water of the River Thames and gave it a nice, peaceful look.
Underneath London
Underneath a couple of train stations in London, this tunnel is quite fun to see and shoot!
I love London, and am looking forward to visiting again in a few weeks. I plan to take some pictures. :-)
I took this on my last visit. It’s a walkway that runs underground between two train stations - Kings Cross and St Pancras. I had seen pics of it online before my trip, and just kept wandering around until I found it!
Sunset at The Mermaid Inn
The Mermaid Inn, in Rye, England during blue hour. It’s just so beautiful there!
I was down in southern England with a couple of my photo buddies, and we went into the little town of Rye to shoot the Mermaid Inn. The area is quaint and beautiful, and we really enjoyed our visit there (which was all of a few hours). Since we arrived before sunset, we sat in the pub inside and hoisted a few pints while we waited for the light to change. Then we popped outside for some quick shooting. All in all, a great way to spend an evening!
Blue hour in London
A lovely evening begins in London…
Blue hour is my favorite time of day to shoot, and London is quite possibly my favorite city. So you can imagine how happy I was when I was out shooting blue hour in London! This was alongside the Tower of London, staring at the Shard across the River Thames. Such a beautiful part of a beautiful city!
Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market in London - a great place to visit and photograph!
I’ve shared photos from this lovely spot in London here before, but I love it so much that I just wanted to share another one. :-) It’s really an interesting and beautiful place, and I find it incredibly photogenic as well. Though crowded during the workweek, I have twice shown up earl yon a weekend morning and had it almost entirely to myself. Of course, that’s my preference anyways since I prefer to shoot this sort of scene devoid of people. By the way, this place was used to represent part of Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter movies. Yeah, it’s that cool. :)
The Sherlock Holmes
A quick snap of The Sherlock Holmes pub in London…
Ah, lovely London! My favorite city! I just love to visit London, and am always trying to think of new ways to get back and visit again. It’s just so photogenic and now that I have been so many times, I feel really comfortable there and know my way around pretty well. This is a great little pub not far from Trafalgar Square. I’ve taken countless shots of this place, and been inside for a pint a few times as well.
Framing the shot
Along Carnaby Street in London late one winter afternoon…
When I travel, I generally like to find street scenes that are pretty empty. Thus that leads me to getting up for a sunrise shoot a lot of the time. But when I last visited London, I didn’t do that too much and instead shot well into the night. One late afternoon I was along Carnaby Street, which is a fun and photogenic part of London. I was mostly just wandering and looking, but of course I had my camera ready just in case. When I saw this guy taking a shot of the scene, I thought it made for a good shot as well. But I kept him in it. :-)
Nights on the bridge
A long exposure in London wherein I captured the light trails of a passing boat…
This was a fun little shot. I was taking a long exposure of the Millennium Bridge in London with St Paul’s Cathedral in the background. During the shot a boat passed by, and I was able to capture it’s light trails, which you can see at the bottom of the frame. Kind of a fun accident!
Leake Street
An amazing graffiti tunnel in central London…
Such an amazing spot in central London! I love to shoot graffiti, it’s just something I love. When I am in London, I always take a quick detour near the London Eye and pop over to Leake Street to fire away. It’s constantly changing - it’s a public graffiti area, after all - and there is some really amazing urban art here. Well worth a stop if you are nearby!
London nights
A double-decker bus speeds past me in London…
I absolutely adore London. It’s probably my favorite city that I’ve ever been to. Something about it just gets to me. I spent about 10 days back in January of this year, and had so much fun wandering all over town and taking photos. I find the city to be incredibly photogenic, and of course there is a lot to see there.
One evening early in the trip I have been out shooting for a while, and stopped in for a bite at a pizza place. After warming up (and filling up), it was time to get back out on the streets. I decided to set up and do some long exposures, hoping for a double-decker bus to pass by. Luckily it wasn’t too long of a wait!
Across the River Thames
Lovely London lights at night…
Wandering along the River Thames in London one evening, I was taken by the lovely lights and reflections of said lights in the river. So I wandered and shot, picking out different buildings to try and capture the best views that I could. This one is one of my faves from that evening, with that awesome Walkie Talkie building all light up and reflecting.
Scotney Castle
Scotney Castle in England is a photographer’s dream come true…
When I visited England earlier this year, I planned to spend the full 10 days in London. But my friends had other ideas, and “dragged” me to southern England and the coastal areas around Eastbourne for a couple of those days. I’m so glad I went. En route we stopped off here at Scotney Castle, and just look at it! It’s beautiful! I was really happy to see this scene when we arrived, and yes I took quite a few photos that afternoon! :-)
Sunset in England
Sunset in Eastbourne, England…
This was a lovely sunset along the southern coast of England. We were staying nearby and went to Eastbourne to catch the end of the day. It didn’t look like it was going to be much of a sunset, but likely it ended up like this, so as you can imagine we were quite happy about that!
Carnaby Nights
Night in London along Carnaby Street…
Evening in London, and I found myself along Carnaby Street. It’s a gorgeous and lively part of London, and it was my first visit there. so glad I made it!
