It’s been about 20 years since I last visited London. Not being one for crowds and enclosed spaces London is\u00a0not a place I tend to be drawn too. However for a while now we’ve been promising the kids a visit to see the sights and part of me is interested in the architecture, place and atmosphere. So February half term and we decided to go for it.\u00a0Street Photography with the Leica Q in London.<\/p>\n

Here are the photographs I captured on day 1 of my three days in London. I had no agenda photographically speaking just to see how we got on and what I saw. I took one camera on this trip. My Leica Q and it was a total joy to use throughout the trip. I’m really pleased with how the images have turned out.<\/p>\n

If you get the chance to visit London, make sure you take a camera as inspiration is around every corner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ironic as this is how I feel about Trains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Here we go. They are narrower than I remember. *Gulp*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Lewis was amazed to learn there are toilets onboard…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His first long train journey. Fascinating watching the world pass by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sushi for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thomas looking pleased with himself on the Tube.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Surfacing at London Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0My first sight of the Shard, what an amazing achievement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Great Architecture everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Borough Market. An explosion of sounds, smells and faces form all over the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Globe Theatre.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Millenium Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

St Paul’s Cathedral over Millennium Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Waterlilly’s<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0One of my favourite images form today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0I recognise that Man. Anthony Gorlmey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I loe this image. How the lady is looking back…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Family shot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0London Water<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Probably my favourite shot of the year so far. Memories are made of moments like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0That’s it for Day 1. A thoroughly enjoyable experience so far. I’m looking forward to exploring more of this fine City tomorrow.<\/a><\/p>\n
