London lovin'

Westminster region in London with a great view of The Big Ben

London was my first big overseas trip and I had no regrets. By the end of it, I came back wanting to live in the city one day. But more importantly, it was this place that made me discovered my passion for photography. Quick tip: low ISO, high aperture and low shutter speed to get the most out of it.

London is a classic urban city. It has the city area and the suburbs – very much like Sydney. It has wonderful sights of the world, such as London Eye, Big Ben, and a display of its history with Trafalgar Square. Along with that, it is known for its sport with the Lords Cricket Ground and various football stadiums, such as Wembley.

When you enter the main city area at Westminster, there are a host of places to see. But definitely go on the London Eye for a 360 view of the wonderful city. I went during summer and there was still daylight until 9pm, which is great for photography! The one area of Westminster provides a host of opportunities for experiences and photos to treasure. Definitely worth a visit!
