London Street Lights

I love the details in these London City lights.

Big Ben and the Thames River, Night.

Big Ben is a London Icon. I liked the perspective of the bridge and light on the river as leading lines. Photographed with the Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 wide angle, on the Manfrotto be free tripod. I took this shot from several different places along the river and at several different elevations, both lower and higher. I found a little nook, in between the river and the bridge and created this image. After I took this shot and the image showed up on my screen a bunch of photographers squeezed in to the spot where I was and tried to replicate the photo.

Big Ben, Close Up

The detail on Big Ben is amazing. Although I initially captured the image in color, I converted it to black and white to better show the contrast without the distraction of color. Canon 7D MK 2 | Tamron 15-30 | Manfrotto be free tripod.

Changing of the Guard, Buckingham Palace

The changing of the guard comes with great precision, pomp and circumstance. I'm not really sure how the second row of soldiers in this shot can see. The two closest to me had hats that looked like they covered their eyes. If you ever want to photograph the changing of the guards, I'd suggest getting there at least an hour to two hours early. On the Sunday I was there, it was completely jammed with thousands of people, and this was not even in the peak summer travel season. Canon 7D Mk 2 | Tamron 16-300.

London Skyline

This image was taken at the outskirts of Buckingham Palace. The grounds and parks around the palace are large and beautiful. They are definitely worth exploring. Canon 7D MK II | Tamron 16-300.

London Phone Booths

Classic, iconic red phone booths can still be found in London in 2016.

Fire Breathing Tuba Player

During a stroll along the Thames, this gentleman caught my eye. Every time he blew on his tuba, a ball of flame came out. Great showmanship! Canon 7D Mk II | Tamron 16-300
