OcUK London Photography Meet - Photos

^ You just wanted a picture of my oh-so-desirable camera bag, didn't you? I know you're type :p

Ha! ... nah it was the shaggy hair that did it. Really testing out what a 35mm f/2 might look like. Being as the 50mm f/1.4 is a little long for street candids in crowds.

how did you achieve those effects?

Lightroom - desaturate, vignetee & cross process. Also used a preset to push the clarity and vibrance.
 
All of them great shots! Much better than I have taken. I was too caught up in experiencing Borough market that I only took a few there and it won't be till the weekend that I go through them. At least, I can get some inspiration for processing them.

Finally getting round to posting a few pics as I have been rather busy since we got home. It was a brilliant day and a pleasure to meet you all, I just wish it wasn't such a trek!
I'm not sure why but my composition seems uniformly rubbish from all my shots across the day. I think I was (stupidly) a little unwilling to use the kit lens at canary wharf which I think would have given me more width and there always seemed to be people in front of me at the market but hey excuses excuses. Maybe I'm just jealous of the cracking shots everyone else took. :D Here are a few for now and I'll sling up some more later on, they are all here though- www.flickr.com/photos/cphudson/

Haha, good spot. The other one in full set is much worse!

laiman, mind if I save the Flickr pictures with me? I usually hate being in front of the lens (mainly because I get uncomfortable and/or start pulling faces) but I quite like the one on the escalator.

Ha at Sam's lens envy :D

Really like no 4

Cheers, I thought it was kinda cute (sorry Gaffer:D).

Really just me being equally envious, I know Gaffer was in my face with a 16-35L?? at the same time so I'd like to see the reversal.

Knock yourself out with any of them, I'll do you one better and send the raw if you like? just drop me a mail, address should be in trust.

*grin* I was busy processing and uploading it while you were writing that post.

And yes, it was the 16-35L.

Of course, I also have the shot that Kathleen was taking at that point, to complete the circle:

That's the one! Thanks, you're more than welcome to a proper copy, as of course is anyone else finding themselves in any of my pics.

Brilliant it's like some sort of photographic paradox! mmm had a go with one of those once, not many lenses where you can be that close and still get everything in!

Hello OcUK,

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Jonei, I would be laiman's long haired, glove wearing friend who was there. I would have posted earlier but I have just got my account activated.

Absolutely loved the day, I don't do much urban photography so I wasn't expecting to get much worth while. But I got some I love and just want to say thanks to the group for showing us round some great places.

Anyway some of my favs from the day below, and the rest are on flickr in a set for your viewing convenience.

Some great selective colouring Jonei. (And welcome). Liking the last one too.

Laiman, thanks for offering the raw but the jpeg off are just fine.
