Photography: Walking in the Rain

Here Comes the Rain Again…

Rain is one of my favourite weather conditions for photography. I love wet, shiney, highly reflective surfaces. Wet weather offers great photo opportunities; dramatic skylines, light bouncing off pavements, reflections in puddles and umbrellas in abundance. Not many people brave rain as heavy as this. But the rain walkers do!

Street Photography London – Capturing the Sights!

 

Braving the streets of London in early winter – chilly to say the least.  I came across these two delightful women photographing Big Ben.  It was like stepping back in time to a different era.  I could not resist and bagged the shot!

London’s South Bank – Chasing the Bubble

Street Photography on the South Bank, London

Warm sunny London days, just perfect for strolling on the South Bank.  The Bubble Blower blew large floating bubbles high in the air.  This created a frenzy of bubble chasing by excited children.

Those were the Days!

Just back from a photo shoot in Dartmoor & loved every minute of it!

Dartmoor is place of outstanding beauty, dramatic skylines, wild rugged landscape with ever changing weather conditions.  Outdoor photography at its best!

We walked every day with our cameras, and my partner Ron Smith, captured a great shot of me photographing wild ponies.  I’ve included it in this post and in the Wild Darmoor Landscape Photography Gallery.

We experienced quick changing weather conditions with amazing cloud formations.  We captured great light, sometimes waiting for an hour for the light to be just in the right place before pressing the shutter.  Well worth the wait!
