London at Sunrise Panorama | England

Sometimes one frame isn’t enough. Standing on Millennium Bridge in the quiet of a 2017 summer morning, I realized the only way to do London’s sunrise justice was with a panorama. Years later, stitching the shots together finally revealed the glowing city I saw back then. A London Morning in August It was August 2017, […]

London Shad Thames - restaurants and apartments; United Kingdom

London Shad Thames | United Kingdom

Shad Thames is one of the most famous streets near Tower Bridge on the River Thames in London. In Victorian times the biggest warehouses of London were located here. Over time, however, this neighbourhood began to decline. Until the 1980s, when the former warehouses were converted into luxury apartments.   The name “Shad” is not […]

The road to Buckingham Palace ("The Mall") and the royal gardens; UK

The Mall towards Buckingham Palace | United Kingdom

Can you imagine a more quintessentially British scene? While Buckingham Palace typically takes the spotlight in photographs, our stroll down the iconic central street, “The Mall”, unveiled a captivating composition adorned with British flags and the familiar sight of London‘s iconic black cabs. Buckingham Palace Explaining Buckingham Palace to the English hardly seems necessary. Situated […]

A Walk through London on a Sunny Day | England

Exhausted, but still in the best of moods after photographing London, we sat on a bench on the bank of the Thames and enjoyed the moment. There weren’t any pedestrians yet, so everything seemed so peaceful… For a moment, I realised that this would be a great composition, to capture The Shard under the Millennium Bridge. Unbeknownst to us, we were following the famous “Quins walk” in a big part of our route, to capture the greatest London landmarks.

London Tower Bridge | England

We were passing the London Tower Bridge early in the morning, when we realised that the Tower was closed due to traffic. It became known to us that on this particular day, there was a marathon taking place and the city was preparing for it. The Tower Bridge was still enlightened with the soft warm morning sun. And you don’t typically get such shots when there is traffic.

Sunrise On London Millennium Bridge | England

A beautiful place so crowded during the day, the London Millennium Bridge during the early morning hours was finally deserted. You should see the view at least once when the city sleeps, and St. Paul’s Cathedral is still enlightened. I have heard that the London Millennium footbridge is known by many locals as the “Wobbly Bridge” and I wondered why – especially as I did not feel any shaky movements (even while running to capture the sun rising over The
The Shard on a sunny day in London, England.

The Shard | London, England

The Shard is another famous icon from London. It is built from 11,000 glass panels, creating an area of glass that is equal to eight football pitches. This giant glasshouse during the day appeared in a navy colour, but when the early morning sun shined upon it – it was just pure gold.

Tower Bridge | London, England

The best time to see London City is just before the sun rises over this famous capital. It was such an unforgettable experience; waking up at 3am and wandering around several empty streets, that usually bustle with residents during daytime working hours. You could walk, breathe with ease and wait with excitement to enjoy the sun coming over the Tower Bridge.
View over London Eye, Thames River and Westminster at sunset

London Eye and Westminster | England

London is one of the cities in which it is impossible to find just a single characteristic skyline view. Meanwhile, it’s not possible to imagine the London skyline without the London Eye. From the Golden Jubilee Bridge you have the possibility to photograph the London Eye and Westminster together, as they are located almost opposite of each other on the banks of the River Thames.
Greenwich University and Canary Wharf Skyline in London, England

University of Greenwich | London, England

You have certainly all heard of Greenwich. Usually in the context of the zero meridian or the time zones. But only few have actually visited Greenwich – it’s not really on the list of things to do on a weekend trip to London.
London Eye, view on the Palace of Westminster

London Eye – The View

The London Eye is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe and the third highest in the world. Built for the Millennium celebration, the operation was planned only for 5 years. It was unsure if this will be continued, but after the great success of this idea, they decided to keep operating the London Eye.
London Docklands and Skyline in a Night Panorama

London Docklands | England

The London Docklands, once the largest port in the world, are now a vibrant financial center. The skyscrapers of Canary Wharf can be seen from all over the city but the direct view over the Thames you can enjoy from Greenwich. For a long time I wanted to try to make an HDR panorama. Overall, the finished work is composed of 28 individual images, 4 segments each with 7 exposures.
London Canary Wharf and DLR station at Night

Canary Wharf at Night | London, England

Once at Heron Quays station, the illuminated colorful bridge immediately caught our attention. My wide angle lens did not decline the challenge. We just had to wait for the right color since – according to the female advice – pink is the best choice for the photo.

London Eye on a Sunny Day in Winter | England

London is known for rainy weather, which lasts all the time, but it seems that I’ve been lucky on my short visit. The city waited up for me with a wonderful sunny, but cold weekend. I just had to take a photo of the London Eye.
