PARIS

My second adventure started very early on a cold December day, 4am to be precise.

The early start followed quickly by a 3 hour Eurostar journey, for which this was my entertainment in between several naps! :

Upon arrival the weather wasn't any better and persistent drizzled hampered my attempts to find the hotel (which took around 3 hours!) But thankfully as darkness fell the drizzle stopped and allowed me to take a nighttime trip around the city.

First stop, the Notre Dam :

The sky was lovely and cloudy and the bright moon shone down to make an amazing skyline.

Followed by a trip to the Eiffel Tower. A very impressive sight from all angles!

Unfortunately the next day saw no improvement in the weather, in fact the wind was stronger and photographing the sights proved a battle against the conditions. This is where a lens cloth becomes invaluable, after every few shots the lens was coated in raindrops and needed a good clean.

However the rain did make for great pictures, the water covering the ground reflecting all the lights:

LONDON

My first trip is to the lovely and lively city of London. As this is the city I call home it's quite an unusual experiance looking around from the viewpoint of a travel photographer.

Things that seem so everyday suddenly stand out. 

Luckily for me it was a lovely sunny November day and I had a lot of fun wandering around the city looking for various photographic opportunities.

Here the path leading to the London Eye is lined with trees so I adjusted the colours to bring out the lovely warm autumn atmosphere.

Here are some more of the images taken not seen in the magazine :
