My Top 5 Long Exposure Locations in London
I’m going to show you what I think are 5 of London’s top spots along the River Thames to take long-exposure cityscape photos of some of the city’s most iconic views.
On Location Photographing Covent Garden
If you want to capture what are normally very busy tourist hotspots in London without all of the crowds of people, an early morning shoot is the best option and in this post I did just that and ventured out around Covent Garden with my wide-angle lens to capture this incredibly popular location.
So Long Fujifilm X-T10 and Thanks For All The Photos
It seems a bit strange that I am writing a blog post about a camera, even more so about a camera I no longer plan on using but this little camera came along just at the right time and helped re-ignite my photography spark. Having now upgraded to a more recent model, I have decided to share a selection of photos I took with this cracking little Fujifilm camera.

Who says long exposure photography needs to be expensive? If you’re looking to give this fantastic technique a try but not looking to invest too much money (just yet) then take a look at this post to see how I took this photo with under £50 of accessories.
On Location Photographing the Garden at 120 in London

What's In My Camera Bag? (2019 Edition)

Photographing London's Rooftops

Photographing London on a Cloudy Day
I have so much fun taking photos in great light. When the sun is low, the light is warm and the scene is full of contrast making good photos is so much easier. So what do you do when the light is flat and weather pretty miserable? Well, you go out and work harder for those images by finding strong compositions. In this post, I did just that during a day out photographing London’s Square Mile and beyond.
