I was in London recently trying to take a photos of landmarks in a different way. I particularly liked this photo as it shows the London eye and a decorative lamp post almost in silhouette against the cloudy sky

Dramatic skies
Image

I really like how dramatic the sky looks in this photo, with dark clouds and the bright orange setting sun creating silhouttes and shadows
Blue chicken
Image

Yes, that’s right, this is a blue chicken statue that’s being displayed in Trafalger Square at the moment. It’s certainly unusual and catches the eye. What do you make of it?
Colourful cupcakes
My sister has become quite talented at making cupcakes, all she needs is to be told what colours you want them in. These bright and colourful cupcakes were made for a henna party recently.
And the best thing is not only do they look great they taste delicious too
Tree and steeple
Image

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
Image

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)
Blue view
Image

I always try to look at things differently when composing a shot to try and make things more interesting. I like this photo as it gives the view a frame and the colours are brightly contrasted against the dark silhoutte.
Golden Hour
Image

I love taking photos at this time of day as the effects achieved always look so magical. In this photo I really like how the water seems to glimmer and draws you eye across to the cliffs. What do others think of taking photos at this time of day and are there any tips that you’d like to share?
Pretty hem
Image

This is the hem from my outfit I wore on Eid. I love the colour combination and detail of the embroidery. Eid al Fitr is the celebration that comes after a month of fasting and I enjoyed the day with my family eating lots of great food and sharing lovely gifts. See my sisters’ blogs Happy Muslim Mama; Harlequin Tea Set and JoJo Jeenius for their accounts of the day
