When you live and work in or around London you often don’t appreciate what’s on your own doorstep. You get caught up in the day to day, trying to get to where you need to be as quickly as possible whilst avoiding the crowds and trying hard not to get squashed on the tube!
On Friday evening, after a pretty hectic week of hiring out lenses, camera hire and other photographic equipment for rent at Lenslocker HQ, we decided to get on the other side of the lens and take some of our rental kit out for a stroll around the St Pauls area. We then headed across the river and along the Thames to Waterloo. Earlier in the week Mr M, while at the Magento conference, had spotted a great angle to photograph the city’s famous cathedral and wanted to take the opportunity to take a few shots.
Despite being in the middle of rush hour, dodging people and traffic and trying not to get too soaked in the rain, we managed to get some amazing shots from a range of different angles and from different perspectives. The photos really capture the essence of St Pauls cathedral, though Mr M complained heavily about how much the roadworks cluttered up his shot!!
On the way home and not one to miss an opportunity……… while I sat on a cold platform at Stamford Bridge waiting for the train home, Mr M got out his Canon EOS 5D MKIII and attached it to the tripod. The photos taken on that cold and lonely platform are really amazing considering the little time we had, it just goes to show that you should never miss an opportunity as you never know when you’re going to get that great shot!
