Topic: Coming to London

[gothamtomato]

Hi,

I'll be making another trip to London in a few weeks and I would like to do some night shooting but I'm a bit nervous about doing it on my own (safety in numbers and all that!) Would anyone here like to get a little group together?

It would be June 10-15

Thanks!

Hello.

If you can't find people to go on the night walk with you here then I might be able to help. I have a group on Meetup.com and could post something there. I know people wanted to do a night walk so I know some are interested.

Hi
London is quite safe at night!
More of a concern should be how light it is at night here in June - even at 2200 the sky is dark blue, rather than black. So it will be more like a twilight shoot, if you wish to get back to your hotel by public transport (which ends at approximately midnight).
But I'd be very happy to join you.
Cheers
David

I'm just back from London. Thanks to those who'd contacted me about going out on a night shoot, but the weeks leading up to my trip were so hectic (and then trip was almost called off at the last minute),  that all this slipped my mind till I was there.

I did no right shooting after all. In fact I barely used my camera at all. I shot with my iPhone for my Instagram feed www.instagram.com/gothamtomato (which find fun to do). And I went to the theater every night instead (that is always the big conflict: Theater or night photography), and theater won because I needed the boost.

This has nothing to do with photography, but if you are in London, RUN to see 42nd Street at the Royal Theatre Drury Lane. They have day seats starting at £15. It closes in August, so hurry!
