LONDON

London 2012! What a fab weekend in London, I have taken so many photos this blog is rather long and there will be a second part...maybe even a third.
Here is a selection of the black and white images I took with my PEN, I love the street photography style and thought the gritty black and white grainy filter really adds to the urban atmosphere.
I find street photography quite liberating as you are literally pointing the camera at people who you don't know. In that split second you can get some great facial expressions and the results are usually quite interesting although I am not sure you would get the same reaction to the camera anywhere else in the country? Who knows maybe I will snap up the streets and people of Blackpool?

Pigeon Poo

It seems that every where I go there are Pigeons. Its seems that every time I see Pigeons I photograph them. London was no exception.
I have no idea why I take their photo..maybe its because they are familiar in places that aren't? Or because they all look the same with a changing backdrop from city to town.
Either way - here is another Pigeon photograph!

I love being a passenger

This was taken two years ago on the road out of London heading back to Blackpool.
I couldn't resist trying to snap up the beautiful sunset with my little digi camera. I am happy with the results..I think we were going about 90mph so love the blurry silhouetted trees too!

Mint Tea. Camden

I am aware that I have posted two images in a row that involve different types of tea, but this one is in such a beautiful setting!
I am always blown away by Camden Market and when I arrived a decided a nice cup of tea was in order. It would give me a minute to work out my shopping strategy! But when I was given this beautiful dish of mint tea I had to stay a bit longer and get a shot.
I love the black and white as it brings out the details and these weren't that visible in colour.
