Walkabout Photography in London

[awhyu]

Hi!
My very first post on this board, just a recent beginner in photography and I am enjoying this new hobby alot. I would appreciate any constructive critique on the selection of photos I took whilst walking around London today.

I like them and I say that as someone that lives and does most of my togging in London. The use of reflections is really good and the candids work. I was a bit confused by the first one, so possibly a wider view so the reflection is in context might have helped, more like the later shots, but overall, great efforts that show great promise :clap::clap:

You certainly like puddles don't you hehe.

nice first post and first set for a beginner, top marks for thinking out the box too, quite like the puddles and the 'musician' one is great too, look forward to seeing more

Oh, and welcome to the forums :)

I'm a big reflection fan and these work for me - I particularly like the wheel and the walkers reflected also love the intense expression you've caught on the musician!

Nice set!

Thanks, well I noticed it rained in London yesterday, so decided to set myself a mini theme, because I always walk the same route from work Moorgate - St Pauls - Across Millenium Bridge - Westminster - St James Park - Green Park (good excercise I have noticed! ) so each time I am trying to take something new and the reflections looked like a good idea! So thanks for the feedback so far! It seems to be a good way of challenging oneself!

Fab shots.

Wasn't so sure about No 1 as subject is out of focus, but then I realised after that it was a reflection
#2 - I really like, great candid shot.
#4 - Works well.
#5 - Nice use of puddles for reflection. did you also catch another photographer in it? Couldn't be you - cause you're looking the wrong way.

Nice set of photos.:thumbs:
