TimTravels - Hello London, nice to see you again! Day #3

in photography •  7 years ago 

Welcome back my dear Steemian friends to another episode of TimTravels!

I have some good news for you! First of all, this post is the third of four parts of my journey to London. Since I am back to Steemit and finally have more time, the MyPictureSunday and MyPictureDay contest will continue!

For those of you who haven't heard about this Steemit exclusive contest, check this link. Things will become interesting since the prizes will be paid out in SBD. So there is much to be won now!

Secondly, I just booked my next flight to the Alps! Time for skiing and it will be the perfect opportunity to take some breathtaking shots of the mountains. My DJI Mavic Pro is ready and will fly high. Furthermore, the next travel will go to South Asia, beginning in March but more on that later.

As promised in the last part of TimTravels - Hello London, nice to see you again! Day #2 I present you some of the shots I took in London at night.


One of the most famous landmarks of the city, the London Eye also known as the Millennium Wheel. Located next to the Themse and near the Westminster Bridge it's one of these landmarks you can't miss. At night it's even more impressive to watch since it's glowing in a warm, red light. Did you know that with its height of 135 m it's the highest Ferris wheel in Europe?



Day or night, London never sleeps. The streets are at night just as busy as they are during the daytime. It's like a clockwork that never stops, it simply runs and runs and runs. Whether it's the tourist that explores the city, the local people that go to or came from work or simply people that want to spend the night outside. London is always busy.




Between all these people I felt very small. I could stand still between the crowds and they would simply circumvent me, not paying any attention. The mass flows together in harmony and was like one big organism. Loud cars, flashing lights, bright screens with fancy ads and countless people make this city at night come alive. Because of the incessant flood of information your brain receives, you would feel overstimulation.

I have one simple trick in these situations. Grab my camera, look through the viewfinder and see the whole scenery as part of a movie. I am the camera, the world is my stage.

Here is a little sneak peek of the next and last part of TimTravels - Hello London, nice to see you again! It shows some other street photography and another famous landmark of London, the Tower Bridge.




Tomorrow I will make another post about typical German Christmas markets I have visited. I haven't checked the pictures myself yet, so I hope I took some great shots for you, my Steemian friends!

Until then, Steem on!


Yours,
Tim

Great. Excellent photos. Love your photos. You are a photography expert. Amazing.

nice photos that capture the nightlife and atmosphere of the city

its a nice shot!

I wish I could travel the world like you @Tim said but due to time and work constraints, I can't am hoping this changes 2018.will be asking for recommendations from you when i go on leave. Lovely pictures. Please keep it up.

Traveling round the world worth unbundling from all the work constraints. For a year or two definitely. Yuo will Memories and impressions for the lifetime. You will hardly remember just another year of work.

Sure! Feel free to DM me at any time. I would like to give you recommendations and maybe some tips and tricks for photography

Thanks @Timsaid. I will definitely do that.

Such a quality blog and photos. Thank you for sharing!

thanks for cool

great , follow me please

Looks like fun. I'm from the UK and I went to London once in 1997 and I have never been back since. I thought it was expensive, dirty, busy, unfriendly and allround nasty. Never been a city type right enough.

I just went to London over the summer, and I have to say it was none of these things. Perhaps it deserves a second visit. It was one of the cleanest cities I’ve been to. The buses are very nice and clean, the tourist sites aren’t too hectic, and the only mean people tend to be us foreigners. It was not a very cheap city, but in my experience the City of London and the City of Westminster were cheaper than New York City. Maybe because the US dollar has had a strong run this year 😉

amazing photos! what a post!

haha good one dude

Haha, got to love these GIFs!

great , follow me please

Amazing! Makes we want to get back to London absolutely love this city.

Magnificent photos! They're just mesmerizing especially the night shot of the Ferris wheel. Thanks for sharing!

Eating, taking pictures, shopping, taking pictures, watch people, taking pictures, taking pictures and taking pictures

London is a beautiful and impressive view of the city that never sleeps!

Exterminate!

Excellent post and wonderful photo Tim, night London is very attractive with its lights and it is clear that life does not stop until the morning. Very successfully turned out at you Tower Bridge, from this angle of capture it looks even more grandiose! By the way it will be very interesting to see your post about German fairs, which are famous for the Christmas holidays. Thank you Tim for a great post!

Thanks for the feedback! Can't wait to share the Christmas market pictures with you

Oh yeah, it'll be great! I'll wait for your post Tim :)

Got the chance for a short visit of London a few years ago, and would absolutely love to get back there for a visit. I love the nightlife, and I bet it's a lot of fun there. Thank you for the pictures. Cheers!

wonderful place your London dear @timsaid

great shots and a nice post. really looking forward to the Christmas market shots from Germany. haven't been on any Christmas market in the last 3 years and I´m German 😂.

this time I will join your contest as I´ve missed it last time.

Being German and haven't been to the famous Christmas markets? Next year!

of course I've been there but not in the past 3 years, as im always away in the cold German winter. you'll have to try "Glühwein" and "schupfnudeln mit sauerkraut" 😉

EDIT: don't drink to much Glühwein, you will regret the next morning!

Now i feel like travelling to london by seeing this pictures😍

I'm always interested in seeing images from London. It's been many years now since I lived there, but it often feels like just yesterday. The night shots are very cool - especially the one with the London Eye!

i want to travel paris like you but i can't for some reason but after reading your experianve it's feel like i am with you. You enjoy every moment this is great thing i hope you enjoy lots more

This is really lovely and beautiful, made me know and feel London without me actually been there Lol..

Your spirit was there :) It's all about imagination

wow. So beautiful Tim. What kind of camera do you use. The lights are so intriguing. I travel alot too and presently live in mexico. I do not remember London so beautiful this time of yesr but your shots sure do. Again amazing

You definitely captured the city's excitement in these shots @timsaid. It's so thrilling to see a place through another photographer's lens and I happen to have visited London recently so that makes it even more of a pleasure. Looking forward to part #4!

Thanks gringa! Personally I love to see pictures of places I have recently been. It lets all my memories come vividly back

not, a big fan of London, expensive with no real cohesive centre traffic free area's on ground level.

Wow the images are wonderful simply beautiful.....I especially loved the night view of London.

wow. nice city. I have never been to London.
I have been to Europe so many times.
strangely, I never chance to visit london.
I hope I could go there.
I also introduce my place, korea.
