Few Shots from Brick Lane

[sid]

I felt like another wander around London after last weekend with you lot.

I tried to follow a theme this ... which turned out to be shop scenes ... to make a set. Instead of just random good pictures.

Considering how often people I know go here to pick up various groceries and so on I'm kicking myself for not taking a stroll around here yet, this must change!

Fancy a Brick Lane wander one day anyone?


The first one and camera Repair guy are my favourite!

I'm in for Brick Lane; only been once and it was before I started this hobby. From your photos, looks like there are lots of opportunities.

Brick Lane, Smithfields, London Bridge and Portobello markets are all well worth a look around, althought the best shots at Smithfields would have to be taken around 4am :S

4am? I like them hours!

A bunch of us should have a mini meet one day methinks

I live about 5-10 minutes walk from Brick Lane. :x

Great work sid. Love the theming and the processing is spot on.

Well this seems to be the next London meet sorted xD

So, plan is, get in at 6pmish, go for dinner and get the first train out at 7am?

Spitalfields is also worthy of a stroll. Much more up close and personal though.

Curry meet?

Much better than walking around with a camera.

Looks like I might have started something here

I think the next step in photography for me is how to make sets work together with good themes and processing.

I've literally done the photowalk thing hundred times but often struggle to make photos which tie together as set...something you would display in a gallery.

Combining photos to tell a story is quite easy in say a wedding where we all know whats going to happen but going to places and trying to tell a story is hard...often as you only visit the place once on a given day so time history is practically impossible. Best possible scenario then is to give a "streety representation"

Soz for the ramble there... I have a few more photos which don't really tie into the set but I quite like nonetheless.

Will post this evening.

You'd have to convince my girlfriend and her family first We're crashing at their's until we find a house to buy for ourselves.

These didn't really fit into a set but I like them regardless.

Love the expression on the woman as well

They've got the Walker's deep ridge climbing wall there too. The one from the ad. It's next to the building made out to look like a massive coca-cola vending machine.
