icecream with a view

I was wondering around the tower of London when I saw this guy just eating his icecream oblivious to whatever was happening around him. I got my tripod on the ground and a family of (ubiquitous) Americans showed up and spoiled my magnificent framing efforts!

I had to wait a bit to take this shot, but In the meantime... I got myself an icecream and waited for the opportunity to "shoot" this guy. Fortunately he wasn't very keen on his icecream and took is time eating it. It's all about timing!

Smoking strictly prohibited!

How old is this sign?! What is it about us that needs to leave a mark? I found this non smoking sign atop St. Paul's cathedral and I was one of the tourists that didn't... leave a mark.

no comment, just act!

London Birdseye view from St. Paul's

Panoramic shots are something of a passion of mine. This is one of many I took during my stay in London. I was overlooking Tate Modern and the Millennium bridge from St. Paul's. I had to keep some people waiting while I took the series (11 shots), that "gave birth" to this panorama, but... They didn't mind and did the same afterwards :)

August 15th...

This Summer was the first one where I didn't have the full month all to myself. Work really gets in the way of "traditions". Nevertheless, I managed to spend some of the late afternoons with friends at the beach playing volleyball or just doing... nothing! Obviously my camera was never too far and this day I managed to get some divers getting ready for an underwater sunset. It was a nice way to finish the day...

The Way...

I have an huge backlog of photos to edit or already edited that never saw the light of day. This is one of those pictures that was just sitting in my archives just waiting to be posted!

I have to take a better look at my archive. Maybe I can find some other pearls ;)

Tower Bridge dichotomy

Dichotomy - a division into two especially mutually exclusive or contradictory groups or entities. Colour or Black and white? The Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. As such it was one of the places I spent more time around.

This HDR pano is a group of 9x3 shots (27 in total in case you are having trouble doing the math ;)). The Thames was low and I had the chance to go down to the river and set up my tripod and... be the object of some Curiosity! You might think that in a city like London people had already acostumed to seeing a guy with a tripod ;)

I realy couldn't choose between the two versions so I salomonicaly... decided to post both!

Oxford

Covent Garden

Covent Garden is one of those places that is bustling with life. Place for some well passed moments with street performers, pubs and restaurants... Don't leave London without a visit!
