Come Rain or Shine (Scenes from the Notting Hill Carnival) (20/11/12)

The final part of the Notting Hill Carnival Set. This last one features an integral part of the carnival: the cops. Say what you will about the Metropolitan police, but they do a decent job of policing this event and the majority deserve credit for their good humoured nature.

Shot on the Olympus OM-D EM-5 + 14mm & 12-50mm lenses. Enjoy:

Come Rain or Shine (Scenes from the Notting Hill Carnival) (08/11/12)

I've been attending the Notting Hill Carnival for the past three years now so I thought it'd make an interesting series. It's an event that photographically is pretty well covered, with almost every carnival goer taking snaps and video on their camera phones or dedicated cameras.
In this series I've attempted to make photos that show the carnival and all the people involved in a slightly different light (as clichéd as it may sound). I'm not entirely sure I've achieved that, but since at the moment there's not much else going on and the weather is so poor, these photos are a reminder of what to look forward next summer.
I should also mention that given the abundance of cleavage and bum cheeks on show by the majority of the ladies, it was extremely difficult NOT to photograph them, even if I tried! So excuse the slightly risqué content of this series if you're not into that sort of thing.

I hope you enjoy the photos. Feel free to leave comments and critique. Shot on the Olympus OM-D EM-5 + 14mm & 12-50mm lenses:

London Street Daily (02/08/2012)

London is buzzing right now with the 2012 Olympics so it only makes sense to post more photos from London Street Diaries.
All shots were taken on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the 25mm and 14mm lenses:

I've noticed that despite the increased amount of time I'm spending on my photography and updating the blog the number of hits I'm getting are going down! What gives? Could it be that people prefer a bit of colour? Could it be that my photography is getting shit? Well whatever it is, here's something different. Let's see how it goes down.


The 1st photo was shot on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and 12-50mm Oly kit lens. The second and third were shot on the Panasonic GF3 + 14mm lens. The last shot was also taken with the Olympus camera but the Panasonic/Leica Summilux 25mm.


If you like my photos, spread the word... show a little bit of love.

 

The Daily Commute (05/05/2012)

After a long week the long weekend is finally here. Unfortunately us Londoners have to endure a weekend of bad weather and more importantly another 4 years of Boris "Bungles" Johnson who was re-elected as London mayor.


Here are some shots to put a smile on your face.


The first shot was taken on the brand new Olympus OM-D E-M5 + Panasonic/Leica Summilux 25mm f/1.4.


The last two where taken on the Panasonic GF3 + 14mm f/2.5:

Brighton - The Beautiful and the Bizarre (25/04/2012)

More rain today :( It's been raining everyday so far this month... Can you believe it?

Last of the set from Brighton... Here's the full set if you're interested.

Anyway, if you like my work why don't you take a second to comment or share the link to my blog with a friend?

The following photos were shot on the Panasonic GF3 + 14mm f/2.5 (1st photo) and 25mm f/1.4 (2nd & 3rd Photos):
