Late Afternoon At The Millennium Bridge

Late Afternoon At The Millennium Bridge
Manchester, UK has a special place in my memories. It was the place where I was trained as an obstetric emergencies instructor nine years ago. It is also the place that I have taught on such courses the most. We returned to Manchester again this year to teach as well as to re-certify as instructors. Of course, having travelled all the way there, there was no way I was not going to indulge in some photography along the way :p I had some fun this time round doing some daytime long exposure photography using a 10-stop neutral density filter. I like the surreal effect I was able to achieve 🙂

A Cubic Twilight

From my trip to the UK in March this year… As we headed back to the London Designer Outlet for dinner later in the evening, we were greeted by the lovely twilight from the unusually pleasant weather. Using what I had with me (the Powershot G7X Mark II — the DSLR didn’t come along for dinner :P), I was able to capture a few interesting shots of the lighted decorations contrasting against the silhouettes of the buildings there.

The weather on our most recent trip to the UK was challenging for photography. Most of the days were extremely blustery, cold and rainy. In fact, there was a day where we could hardly take any pictures because of the unrelenting rain! Just when we had packed up our cameras for good on the day before our departure, blue and sunny skies greeted us on our drive back to London. Our original intention was to grab some lunch and do some shopping at the Designer Outlet at Wembley. In the end, we ended up taking pictures. I did not have my DSLR kit handy and had to make do with the Canon G7X Mark II. With the kind of bright lighting we experienced, I could use the lowest ISO setting possible and avoid noise typically associated with smaller sensor cameras.
