London Olympics 2012 Greenwich Equestrian Events

Greenwich is hosting several equestrian events in the historic setting of Greenwich Park.  The seating is almost complete and looks dramatic in the beautiful July sunshine.  The seating is vast and has taken months to install.  The equestrian events take place 29th July – 9th August.  Were you fast enough to get a ticket?  The construction is amazing – lots of shiny scaffolding supporting the huge seating structures.  Remember to take a pair of binoculars if you are sitting right at the top!

FireWorks – The Wonder of Light

Yes, it’s that time of year when all photographers turn their attention to the local fireworks display.

Best to shoot in manual at 100 ISO. I set my lens to manual focus and set an aperture value of f11. Hang loose, and experiment with slow shutter speeds until you get the look you like.  Here we go!
