Today I was suppose to go Tate Modern, there were 2 previous attempts of going but were all cancelled out on the last minute (literally). The 3rd one no doubt followed the same pattern (again, cancelled at around 5pm odd). So I decided to invite Michelle to spend the night in London and piss about. Tate Modern was actually closed by the time I got there so there really wasn’t much point in being there. I did take a few really nice shots of the millennium bridge and other things.
Pan shot of London
Millenium Bridge
Really really love this shot. The blue in particular. Its so yummy. Alot of people have done this shot before but I really enjoy this one purely because of the blue sky. It was quite a fun day taking photos without a tripod. Things would have been a hell of alot easier if I was carrying one but sometimes you simply don’t plan these things and just forget to bring them. I had my elbows on the back of the bridge to take this shot. Took me a few goes to get it JUST right. Bit annoying when people walk by though.
Michelle arrived at around 6.30pm and we just had a nice night out around London. Michelle was very supportive in my photography and encouraged me to take alot of nice shots, especially this one.
The ubiquitous shot of Westminister’s Underground Logo next to good old big ben. Taken to show a weird sense of perspective etc. Quite alot of people had that photo on their flickr but it definitely seemed right to do another one haha. I kept doing alot of tourist accents when I was around big ben. We talked about spending a whole day following a tourist and taking photos with them hehe. It’s weird that we hardly take notice of places like this. In a way, the whole photography vibe has made me appreciate London more.
We also went to Buckingham Palace to take photos of the place, there wasn’t really many people around so it was all good.
We ended around Picadilly Circus and had some food at a place called “Miso”. Though we initially were going to go to some Italian restaurant, and Wagamama, and Yo Sushi, but passed them all up haha. I had duck and noodles whilst Michelle had a nice big bowl of Ramen Noodles. She couldn’t finish it off bless hehe. Also tried teaching her a bit of chopstick action but that didnt turn out too well. I guess it is a bit tedious, some waitress had to hand her a fork hehe.
We then had a quick visit in funland, hoping to play with the mechanical bull, but it wasn’t active that night so boo. So yeah, pretty much did the typical stuff ie. Play DDR, a few games of air hockey and this…
Was a very pleasant evening. I felt slightly better from being stood up 3 times in a row for one event but yeah.
