Colourful Apple and An Englishman in New York
What you wanna do is... - 21.1mm at f/2.8, ISO 200, Shutter speed 1/100 sec
I thought I'd post a few color images from those I took 2 weeks ago at the opening of the 300th and the world's largest Apple Store in Covent Garden, here in jolly old London. Well over due, I know. I've been rather busy working on other interests and commitments that I enjoy working on too. Sadly the weather seems to be turning towards winter already in England, and so the days will soon be something most nine to fivers only experience while at the office. If you don't have an office job, well, you're lucky I guess. Although everything comes at a price. I've started using Hipstamatic for iPhone quite a lot recently. It's pretty cool. I usually tweet those photos directly to my tweet stream, @imsticking.

If you are somewhere near London and enjoy photography exhibits, Jason Bell's An Englishman in New York exhibit opened at the National Portrait Gallery on the 14th August 2010. I went to check it out on Friday evening and was very impressed with some of the work. Sadly, it's quite a small exhibit with approximately 20 prints on display. It's well worth a visit however, and there is still a lot more to see at the Gallery and I found myself spending a good hour viewing the BP Portrait Award 2010. While not photographs, the work is astounding non-the-less. You can see some of Jason Bell's work in his online portfolio at jasonbellphoto.com and you can stalk him on Twitter at @jasonbellphoto. Seeing Jason's work immediately made me want to go out and photograph somebody. I love that about other exceptional photographers. How they stir up that desire to be creative. Another photographer that makes me want to improve my skills is Lara Jade. I'm not really into fashion photography, but I like her style. It's quite dark and romantic. I think that would be a very interesting approach if you could capture that as a street photographer.

All of these image were taken with my Leica D-Lux 4. Interestingly, I haven't touched a single Saturation slider while editing these images.
