On Location Stories

If you want to capture what are normally very busy tourist hotspots in London without all of the crowds of people, an early morning shoot is the best option and in this post I did just that and ventured out around Covent Garden with my wide-angle lens to capture this incredibly popular location.

The Garden at 120 is a new rooftop terrace 15 stories up that opened in early 2019 offering new photographic opportunities of London’s skyline. I popped along one evening, just as the sun started to set and captured a few images for myself.

With a second visit to Venice on the horizon, I decided to try something new (well, for me anyhow). I set out to capture a set of black and white photos of this beautiful city. Jump into the post to read about how I got on.

In this post, I share the photos from a sunrise shoot from 35 stories up at the Sky Garden in London. I plan to get up high to capture London a few more times during 2019 so watch out for more posts like this in the future.

I have so much fun taking photos in great light. When the sun is low, the light is warm and the scene is full of contrast making good photos is so much easier. So what do you do when the light is flat and weather pretty miserable? Well, you go out and work harder for those images by finding strong compositions. In this post, I did just that during a day out photographing London’s Square Mile and beyond.

In July 2018, I spent a day and a bit in the beautiful city of Bruges, Belgium. With only around 36 hours in the city, I wanted to soak up as much of this city as possible and photograph some of its stunning views, cityscapes and interesting architecture.

I recently spent a rare full day in London capturing sunrise at Tower Bridge and sunset over at Canary Wharf. This post covers the shots I took ending with a time-lapse video taken throughout the day.

A few weeks ago, I headed out to one of my favourite photography locations in London to capture a few shots of The Shard and City Hall at sunset. This has proved to be a location that has left me wanting time and time again. Can I get the shot this time?

Revisiting London Bridge to capture the sun rising behind Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast. Find out how I got on creating both a panoramic and a long expose of this view of London

The Surrey Hills are beautiful and Newlands Corner has some stunning views. In this post I am in there taking panoramic images of this quite stunning location.

In July 2017, I spent a few nights in Venice and wow, what a city! It really is something else. This travel blog is part one of two, covering my visit and the photos I took with a little bit of history thrown in

I ventured out to photograph the City of London with my new Fujifilm XF55-200 lens on a dull, dreary day. I did not expect to see any light. Boy was I mistaken. I certainly learned the lesson to always expect the unexpected

In this On Location post, I spend some time with my new wide-angle lens capturing images around the Millennium Bridge at both sunrise and after dark with interesting compositions and some quite stunning light.

Sometimes, as a photographer (and in life) you have to just get out there and see what happens. In this post, I start my day at St George’s Wharf and end up capturing a sunset with my new Fujifilm XF10-24 lens at Canary Wharf.

On a cold, fresh February morning I had a walk around Westminster to capture a couple of the iconic structures that sit beside the River Thames. I captured The London Eye, the Revolving Torsion fountain with The Houses of Parliament and finally Big Ben from underneath Westminster Bridge.
