Great Things You Might See

First off, it is almost like you get color. I mean houses on many roads such as Lancaster Road make you gasp. After this, Portobello Road, it can’t be skipped. That’s due to its street market and shops. It is usually bursting, it feels almost as if it’s alive, with old items and treats for the eye. Actually, streets, it’s a bit quiet; you may notice flower boxes in windowsills or light and shadow designs on doorsteps.

Keep watching. Look at door styles or places where brick paths wind in gardens, usually things that fill the shot. You see them even just walking around!

• Pretty houses with fun shades.
• A huge street market named Portobello Road.
• Easy lanes, so it’s easy just for walking shots!

Finding Just the Right Time to Tour

Times just to visit change how everything looks. Doing that is pretty smart if wanting the place calm or not too many others, plan to visit earlier in a day or maybe even any day of a week that isn’t Saturday. So if you want more zip in the shot, go for times when sales folk bring out the stock. Also there’s the yearly Notting Hill Carnival that has culture vibes, which make photos from there loud.

Picking days of this trip:

1. Calm Times: Very early AMs on days during a week.
2. Market Vibes: Go, more or less, when it has a Saturday market.
3. To have lots of culture, just aim for the Notting Hill Carnival.

How to Shoot Good Photos

Guides like the fact that getting great holiday photos may just mean playing, almost, with the camera. Yet get the settings. Figure out shutter speeds for how bright you make it and then the F-stop for making parts blurry and not so. Find leading lines to help pull someone’s eyes through that picture. Focus where your viewer might look first.

Also, try shooting odd stuff! Show the viewer doors or brick stairs, any spots off a sidewalk. Watch out; the trick to telling better stories in stills tends to involve how brave someone acts, taking shot choices which might be very strange!

Picture ideas can start from here:

• Look, then frame things just from light angle choices.
• Set a shot using lines for guide look points.
• Dare to snag some odd yet fun shots!
