London

At the beginning of my Summer, I went for a day trip in London with my friends. We spent the day hopping on the Tube and visiting different places and music shops. I love the night life in London - Photographing it was fun. I used mainly my 50mm 1.8, as that works brilliantly in low light and I tried to capture the essence of the place with the lights, reflections and silhouettes. Documentary Photography is definitely something I'd try to do in London, and many other cities. The people you will meet and bump into, and the differences of the people which make them so interesting to capture. I like the idea of using different Vantage points and continuing to use Black and white. By using a wide aperture creating a shallow depth of field, it would create less distraction of what's going on behind the subject I'm trying to focus on.

 
In a hectic city full of people, the world is so much calmer in reflections.

 
In my opinion, even if an image is out of focus, it doesn't make it a bad photograph. I enjoy working with different angles and bokeh.

 
I was pleased with this shot. It's unedited at the moment, but I was happy with how it came out. The lines and lights and shallow depth of field using a wide aperture. The focus on the man going down the escalator. It gave the image a documentary feel, which links in to my preferred topic in Photography. Perhaps a black and white edit would work well.
