Sports photography - BMX

-
I'm not great at doing sports photos because I haven't had the chance to do any of it apart from some occasions. I armed myself with my 70-300 f2.8 lens and the 18-105 f3.5-5.6 lens and spent a couple of hours photographing my friend's son at his BMX training.


It was the 1st of November 2015 and the sun was quite low as expected for the time of year, which played in my advantage of not causing huge shadows on surfaces facing downwards. I tried to make the most of it to create some nice effects.



The compulsory under exposed, deep shadow photos with the sun behind the subject had to be done:

Reasons why you'd like to live in or visit Bristol

An impromptu visit to Bristol was planned to visit the city and get to know more about it, in an attempt to understand what we want and what kind of place we'd like to live in. Little did we know that we'll end up on Bristol Pride week-end. Our week-end and research over there brought to our attentions to why the city could be a potential location to settle down in for any young couple Reason 1: It's Just Beautiful The city is full of beauty, with the modern and historical architecture side by side. Old warehouses and factories have been turned into markets, restaurants, theatres rather than left to rot. We have found run down places near the city centre but they weren't that big. People seem to take pride in the appearance of their streets. We found some old shoes in which were planted flowers. An idea that we'll take on for sure   It even has its own Monopoly board. You should try it out. Just like the normal monopoly game, it contains the street that...

Camden Market

If I tell you that the famous Camden Market in London, UK started with a mere 16 stalls and on Saturdays only. Well, that was in March 1974 and a lot has changed since. It is now home to over 1000 stalls ranging from bread to expensive antiques. Unlike the high street, the traders are predominantly self employed small sole traders or family businesses. A lot of them uphold deep certain values of their own that they bring to their offering. For instance, you can have fully organic food shops, vegan, gluten free to traditional way of working with leather. Some of the things I like about the market.. 1. Coffee Starting your day with a delicious latte made with some nicely roasted coffee beans and creamy textured frothy milk from inside the market itself. Facing the bridge with the clock just behind you is where you an find on your left the entrance to one of the food section of the market. On your left would be some succulent cakes, pastries and bakes and steps away on you...
