Brick Lane

It has been some time since I last did any street photography. So, last Saturday, with the weather forecast promising a sunny afternoon, I headed to Brick Lane. I was limited to a fixed 50mm equivalent lens.This forced me to get closer than I typically shoot. But Brick Lane on a Saturday afternoon is rife with photographers and posers, so it's an easier location than many. The promised sun took a while to develop, but the afternoon finished with some lovely light. One spot in particular caught the low afternoon sun and drew people to it.

 

London Awayday - Shoreditch

I recently had my first photography trip into London since the start of the pandemic.  It was a fun trip with a couple of pals and a couple of beers.  We started at Kings Cross, where I didn't get anything useful, before moving on to Shoreditch.

Saturday Afternoon on Brick Lane

I was in London on Saturday, and after a quick visit to Wex on the Commercial Road, the next logical stop was Brick Lane.

 

 

 

Brick Lane

Any trip to Columbia Road is immediately followed by a visit to Brick Lane.  Despite the fact that the Sunday market at Brick Lane is even busier and more chaotic than Columbia Road, I find it a more rewarding location.  The street art offers lots of interesting, and ever-changing, backdrops and there are a number of quieter side-streets that allow for simpler shots.
