Travel & Humanitarian Photos
I was in London with Barry last week to photograph the Lord Mayor’s fireworks. Knowing how Barry prefers to get a high-level perspective on his subjects I managed to wangle our way onto a balcony of the National Theatre, which provided a pretty good vantage point.
Better still, we were in the company of a couple of members of the theatre who invited us to join them in a glass of red wine. Looking down at the crowds squashed up against the railings of the Embankment and on Waterloo Bridge, it was certainly a more civilised way of getting some shots.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t quite get to an angle that would allow me to get a closer crop on St. Paul’s Cathedral whilst still including the fireworks – and they did seem to be over very quickly – but I did get a couple of shots that show some of the buildings along the river and the fireworks overhead.
