More RD1 London

It's been a very nice and sunny day today. I set off with my RD1 and Ricoh GR lens, to meet up with Kesh and do some photography around More London and the Tower.

It was good to spend a day just focusing on photography and have the right light to shoot.

At first I focused mostly on the architecture and took just some occasional people shots but while reviewing my photos, I ended up actually having quite a lot of people photos to chose from.

On my way back I also stopped for a quick shoot at the Tate Modern, I haven't been there for quite a while so it was good to have a few minutes to wander around.

Since I ended up with a lot of photos I liked I decided to post a series again.

5 In London

I had to go into London to do one of the things I try to avoid as much as possible, shopping. Still, I figured before running around the shops I might as well do some photography first.

Instead of heading straight to Oxford Street, I started off at London Bridge and walked to the Tower to take some photos of the ceramic poppies they laid out before these would be taken away.

A long walk across the City and Holborn, I made it to Oxford Street and started looking around the shops. It was painful as usual and this time of the year it's even worse with people already starting their Christmas shopping.

After a somewhat unsuccessful shopping trip, it was time to go to the LPMG social meetup and get a (well deserved) pint.

On a day like today, the GR is the perfect camera because it's small, light and easy to carry while taking great photos.
