On Saturday I decided it was about time I went to see the London Street Photography Exhibit which has been on at the Museum of London for the past few months. I had attempted to see it when the exhibit had first opened, but being the opening day it was just too busy, and the queues too long, that I didn’t bother. This weekend just gone was the last weekend it was going to be open so it was very much a ‘now or never’ situation. It wasn’t amazing, but it was good to visit and I’m glad that I went to it.
After this I had a few hours to kill so walked around randomly; at one point I stopped on a park bench to have a cup of coffee and snapped this image from that location.
I was shooting hand held, having opted to walk around without my tripod or large camera bag. I have just bought a Black Rapid camera strap which I already love, and enjoyed walking around with this and not having to lug my heavy gear around, which the tripod is the main culprit.
Great shot! I love these looking up at the urban skyline from down below shots. Makes you feel really small.
I too hate carrying around that clunky tripod especially when I’m hiking through the woods, but I find it’s necessary for my long exposure waterfall shots so I’m stuck with it!
Glad you finally got to see the display and a pretty cool shot. The black rapid strap is AWESOME!
Wow, very nice picture!
