It's been a long time since I last did an Urbex tour, so this weekend just gone I joined a few pals and we urbexed Belgium 
And non camera pics:
Just for kicks, did a tuck planche at each location to satisfy my daily morning workout

When I say tour, I don't mean a guided tour hehe. Tour as in we toured Belgium with a map of sites we wanted to explore, like a grand tour, but with derelict places!
There are/were many places in London you could urbex, but most are highly guarded or are now demolished. Battersea Power Station was one epic explore, felt like Metal Gear SOlid sneaking from shadow to shadow, avoiding the spot lights and guards
It can be risky in terms of safety, and sometimes you will get caught by security, or the police. Just gotta be level headed really and everything works out fine. IT's finding the same points of entry others have used that takes time unless someone tips you off, which groups tend to keep to themselves. Plus part of the fun is scoping, building a plan, then entry and exfil after seeing and capturing the images you want.
It's only more recently I've been using only the 35mm 1.4 for Urbex shots. I used to ultra-wide everything to give that wide perspective to interiors, but the 35 has forced me to think out the box and compose shots in a way most others don't do for the same locations. Plus being 1.4, didn't use the tripod a single time

Only once in Belgium. They can't confiscate your camera or anything like that. They just ask you questions and confirm ID then you're on your way.
None of my shots are HDR in this entire thread 
These were taken with my phone from a recent explore over in Wales
An 85 1.4 is today what the Nifty 50 was back in the day

Can't go wrong either way
I had a great weekend catching up with a few friends. They have 4 month olds, so...
The 2nd one is Mhairi, as she was laughing her mum was so happy I can't even explain it. Never seen someone s overjoyed with happiness before! I've met her before so she's used to me but the first one is Cooper and that day was the first time we met. I tend to get on really well with animals and babies haha!
Another friend saw the above photos and asked if I could get some shots of her 2 year old and herself on the IoW soon so am looking forward to that! I've been inspired by a few examples of portraits on Instagram that I wanted to try my own version of so this will be an ideal opportunity
But yep agreed with you!

I do like black and white.
A bridal dress shoot (personal project) from last weekend
The difference in light tone 3 hours makes. The first two were around 3PM, the last two around 6PM, golden hour primetime.

I've started to do something new with wedding photos, and likely will add this same format to other shoots I do as well
Yi 4k+! I'm recording everything at 2.5K 60fps though for a balance of storage space vs battery life.
Great camera really, the touchscreen on the back is brilliant.

It is yep, the grand plan is to turn it into an educational thing too whereby I can upload little videos narrating how and why certain shots were done. Instagram and YouTube will be the platforms I use as well as facebook. Upload to Youtube/Insta and link via FB.
The photos from the above wedding can be viewed here for anyone who has an FB account: https://www.facebook.com/robbie.kha...68891036595¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic

Generally shoot for a lot more B&W these days, some of my faves from the last wedding:
I've got a couple more wedding dress style shoots on the IOW soon, one is at Osborne House, so am really looking forward to that one. Stay tuned

One of my closest friends wanted me to drive her to the church on her wedding day, and also got me to shoot just the prep and ceremony of the day (so could enjoy the rest of the day as a guest!).
Fair dos!
