Reading room

Reading room
This is at The British Museum which happens to be one of my favourite rooms in London beacuse it’s so big and airy and I have to go in there if I ever visit. This picture was taken on a grey day but I like how the lighting and mood can change in the room according to the weather

Tree and steeple

This photo is of the church St Martin of the Fields near Trafalger Square. I like the contrast of the light and dark colours of the tree and building against one another and the great sense of height that you get. But best of all I think I like the bright blue sky as the backdrop.

Gem collection

Gem collection
This precious gem collection isn’t mine (unfortunatley) but is housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I love the way the stones have been arranged in colour order and seem to be located in a dark secret place, which they kind of are as you’re not allowed to take pictures but I was being a bit sneaky (and before you ask, yes I got told off and had to put my camera away afterwards)

Durdle Door, Bournemouth

I recently went on a day trip to Bournemouth and in particular to visit Durdle Door. Now, I’d seen a couple of photos on the internet and I had an idea of what to expect, sort of…what I actually found was a breathtaking view of the coast which was amazing. I’ll stop trying to explain and show you my photos instead which I took on my DSLR camera.

This is the view you see from a steep walk down towards the coast; it appears all of a sudden like a well kept secret

I love how the movement of the water can be seen in the second picture

Then walking further down you see the famous Durdle Door which is also a World Heritage Site

What I loved the most about this place was that it looked as beautiful in real life as it did in photos I’d seen, in full, vivid colour. I would definitely recommend it as place to visit and to get some amazing shots.

Here a few other photo’s I took
