7 Songs You Should Listen To Pt.3

Today i thought i would share with you some more songs that i have been loving recently. I am thinking of making this 'series' a fortnightly thing as i seems to get the best reception on this blog. Anyways, i hope you give all of these songs a listen as they are all worth it.

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles (MNEK Refix)

A lot of you guys reading this would probably know this song when you hear it but i bet you wouldn't recognise what song it was if you heard MNEK's version! The 21-year-old, that you know i love if you've read this blog before, has completely changed and revived the pop hit. With essences of the song "Love Shack" after the beat drop, the song just makes you want to dance. This song really deserves some more recognition and i am genuinely surprised MNEK has not released it as a single as i think it would do really well. You should really give this a listen (it is not available on Spotify however so go on YouTube) as it is amazing!

Shawn Mendes - Kid In Love

If you've read my previous '7 Songs' post, you'll know that i am falling in love with Shawn Mendes right now and i actually managed to get tickets to see him at The O2 next year on his Illuminate World Tour! Whilst i was creating my Shawn Mendes playlist (which i do for every concert i go to), i discovered "Kid In Love" and now i am a Kid in Love with that song! In my opinion, the song is very sweet and just simply honest. The likelihood of him singing the fairly old song on his tour is quite slim but i hope he does as it is very relaxing and tranquil. His new album Illuminate (which will probably be featured on here soon) is incredible and you should check it out as well.

Morgxn - Home

"Home" was featured on my Discover Weekly (a playlist that is made by Spotify to recommend you songs based on what you usually listen too) and even though it is completely different to anything i usually listen to, i immediately fell in love with it. I don't know whether it is the empowering beat, the lyrics or the instrumentals but i love everything about this song. You should really try and check this song out as Morgxn is an up-and-coming artist and need all the support he can get!

Kehlani - Did I

I got this song and Kehlani recommended to me by several of my friends and i love all of her music now! This song in particular is really catchy and upbeat and like a lot of the other songs featured on this post, it really makes you want to dance. The lyrics are very truthful and Kehlani is definitely not afraid to speak her mind which is another reason why i love the song. The American singer also has a lot of stories to tell, being suicidal at one point and learning to recover. To be strong and confident like she is after having a troubled past is amazing and she should be honoured for that. If you have some spare time, you should really check this song out; you will not regret it!

Kanye West - Fade

Even though i hate Kanye West as a person, i can't help but love this song of his. Yeah it has a lot of auto-tune and it doesn't have the most lyrics but "Fade" just makes you want to dance and/or sing along to it. With samples of Mr. Fingers' "Mystery Of Love", the song is really catchy and the line "I Feel It Fade" will be stuck in your head all day after hearing the song. Also, even though he is not credited in the song, Ty Dolla Sign is someone who i am loving right now and his verse in the song it brilliant. Even if you're a little like me and don't particularly like Kanye West, you should really give this song a listen, you'll honestly be surprised.

Shakka Ft. Chip - You Don't Know What You Do To Me

A lot like "Home" by Morgxn, "You Don't Know What You Do To Me" by Shakka isn't the type of song i would normally listen to but i really love this song! The song really showcases Shakka's amazing vocals who you may know from the Wretch 32 song "Blackout". Another reason why i love the song is the fact that it features Chip as i used to listen to him (when he was known as Chipmunk) when i was really young. The song is also extremely catchy and the chorus will get stuck in your head for ages. This song is brilliant though and you should really try and check it out if you have any spare time.

Sam Smith - How Will I Know

Last but definitely not least we have Sam Smith! In my opinion, Sam Smith has one of the best voices of this generation. His soulful and tranquil voice is simply incredible and i cannot wait until he releases some new music! The British singer's version of Whitney Houston's infamous "How Will I Know" is quite possibly the best version i have ever heard of the song as it is just so raw and completely acoustic. If you have any time on your hands, you just have to check this song out! Also, the acoustic versions of "Latch" and "Omen" are incredible as well so try and look at them as i know you won't be disappointed.

So i hope you enjoyed this third instalment of "7 Songs You Should Listen To". All of these songs are mind-blowing in my opinion so you should really try and listen to them if you can!

My Favourite Photos Ever

So today i thought i would share with you some of my favourite photos i have ever taken. Some of these are from concerts and some are just from when I've been out and about and saw something that caught my eye. I am quite proud of these photos and they will probably go into a future portfolio of mine so it would be great if you gave them some feedback.

To be honest, there are several photos that i could've put of Beyonce in this post but i denied to choose just this one as it is my favourite. The reason for that is it feels very moody and it is simply Beyonce, isolated in the red background. I was also in a very happy place whilst taking this photo.

When i went to Amsterdam on a school trip not so long ago, i saw it as a great time to take photos and this was definitely my favourite of the bunch that i took whilst i was out in Holland. I like it because it shows how beautiful and iconic the city is even when it has quite dull weather. Also, i took this whilst i was on a river cruise which i would recommend for anyone thinking of going to Amsterdam in the future as you can get some brilliant photos.

Even though i am not a massive fan of Tinie Tempah himself, i love this photo as it shows the rapper simply loving his job and what he is doing. This photo is from my Beyonce concert where he was the support act and it proves that sometimes the best photos don't have to come from the bigger acts and you should always just have a gamble and take a picture of whatever captures your eye!

Like the Tinie Tempah photo showed before this, i love this picture as when you see it, you can tell that Ariana Grande is loving her job and what she does. I also love this photo as it is Ariana's signature pose that i always see during her performances. Also, that day when i saw Ariana was probably one of the best days of my life so it makes me think of happy memories every time i see it.

The reason why i love this photo is because it is bold and simplistic with a very strong message which people should really follow. If i am right, the picture was actually taken at Sky Backstage at The O2 Arena before a concert in a little room which shows that you don't always need something/someone popular or massive to take a great photo; sometimes you need to change to a different perspective.

This picture is one of the most recent pictures i have taken and it was taken at the beginning of this month in Hyde Park which i actually did a little review on. It was taken whilst i was experimenting with the different settings on my camera and i am extremely happy with the result. I think the photo itself is quite simplistic but it gets a little bit more complex when you look at those two boys walking along, wondering whats going on in their minds.

Last but certainly not least is my favourite photo i have ever taken, surprisingly of Justin Bieber! Even though i am not a massive Bieber fan, i just love the angle i caught the Canadian at with the light at a perfect 30 degree angle on Justin. I am actually very lucky that i had the seats that i had as if i didn't, i wouldn't be able to get anywhere near as beautiful of a shot as i did. Although i have already said it loads in this post, i do also think it shows Justin Bieber simply loving what he's doing. 

So i hoped you enjoyed having a look at what i think my best photos of mine are. I hope to take a lot more in the future that are hopefully better. Photography is what i love to do and wish to do as a future career so all the little stepping stones like these pictures do help me on my way to that dream. 

The Best People Ive Seen Live

For todays post I thought i would share with you some of the best people I've seen live. All of these people are incredibly talented and if you have the chance to see any of them, you should really take up the opportunity.

Beyonce
Firstly, theres the best person i will ever see live! Beyonce is phenomenal and never disappoints; she's worth any amount of money. The Texas-born singer has in my opinion, the best voice and amazing dance moves. She is hands down the best performer and always puts on a show. Her songs are influential and she is an icon in my eyes. You really need to try and grab tickets to a Beyonce concert, but be prepared, they always sell out in a matter of minutes. I always have to see Beyonce in every one of her tours as they are the best tours i could ever go to.


Little Mix
Even though most people may not think they are talented, in my eyes they are the most talented group around these days. All of them have incredible and underrated voices, especially Perrie who i think actually has one of the best voices in the industry right now. Their concerts are great value (usually costing about forty pounds) and they put on a guaranteed good show overtime. The four girls are probably the people i have seen the most out of anyone with me seeing them live on every tour of theirs.

MNEK
Even though i may have only seen him twice, MNEK has put on incredible shows both times. He has a unique and amazing voice and is unbelievable for a 21 year old like himself. Both of the times I've seen him, he has done unique and great covers; my favourite is his cover of 'A Thousand Miles' which is ridiculous. I can't wait until he does another concert for me to attend and i will definitely be going.


Ariana Grande
Just like MNEK, i haven't seen Ariana Grande loads of times but when i did see her, she was undeniably brilliant. She has a crazy voice and in particular, her vocal range is out of this world, being able to hit both really low and extremely high notes. I cannot wait until her uk tour dates come out later this year as she has some amazing songs that really showcase her voice on her new album and will sound great live.

Disclosure
Even though i may not have spoken about them on this blog so far, i have always been in love with Disclosure. In my opinion, the two brothers are the best DJs around today and both of their albums are masterpieces. In particular, their first album 'Settle' is unbelievable, maybe even one of the favourite albums of all time. I think i just love how unique and unordinary the duo are and i cannot wait for them to release some more material and concerts.


Jessie J
Last but certainly not least, we have Jessie J. Since her first single i have been a fan of the BRIT-School graduate and her music and her voice are still phenomenal to this day. In my opinion, Jessie J has one of the best voices in the UK and you really start to understand that once you see her live. After Beyonce, Jessie J would probably have to be the best person I've seen as she always puts on an incredible show, if you ever get the chance, you need to see this girl!


So i hope you enjoyed this post, guiding you on who to see if you go to another concert. All of these people are truly unique and incredible live and you should really see any of them if you ever get the chance.

Capital FM's Summertime Ball ~ 11/06/16

So today i thought i would share with you a little review and some of my photos from one of the best concerts I've been to this year (excluding Beyonce). Capital FM organise this event every year and it has some great acts there so i hope you enjoy it.

Capital FM's Summertime Ball occurs annually at Wembley Stadium and it never disappoints considering how many great people you see at the event. With around 20 people at the event each year, it is great value as well, costing around 65 pounds each year. I have been to the event three times and i plan to carry on doing so as it is always an amazing day. This year when i went, the sun was shining and it was a scorcher, averaging around 25 degrees celsius for the whole day.


When i got to the event after staying in a hotel the night before, me and my sister saw a load of cardboard cutouts scattering the infamous walkway up to the stadium with the details of a competition next to every cutout. The competition was to win ticket upgrades to the golden circle (one of the best possible tickets to the event) and being the concert-lovers that me and my sister are, we entered into the competition, not expecting anything from it. About an hour or two later though, we got a message from one of the event organisers saying we won! This was incredible for us as it meant we could be literally next to the stage for the event.
  Once we were in the stadium and in our upgraded area, we was overwhelmed with excitement as we knew how good of a concert this would be. Shortly afterwards the first act of the night came on; Little Mix. If you've read this blog before you'd know my thoughts on Little Mix and they did not disappoint in the slightest, singing one of the biggest sets of the entire night and because we had our ticket upgrade, the four girls were performing right next to us, meaning i got some great photos.


As the world-famous acts continued to pour onto the stage, my photos got better and better, with me getting even better photos! To prove how close i was, i wanted to take a photo when one of the stars was close to me and i was in luck. As The Vamps performed, who were actually a lot better than i thought as I'm not the biggest fan of them, the lead singer literally stopped at what must've been a metre or two away from me. This meant that i got some amazing photos of the singer including the one to your left, without even zooming in at all.
After The Vamps finished, the concert started to become even better, with loads of acts such as Nick Jonas, Zara Larsson and Lukas Graham being extremely close to me. Nick Jonas was one of the best though, with him standing a matter of metres away from me for the whole of his set. I managed to get some unbelievable photos of him during his set by just using the slightest zoom. This photo to your right is one of my favourites of him as it showed just how close i was as i only had to use the tiniest zoom.

After about half of the event I saw someone standing directly next to the stage watching the other acts perform. That person was none other than MNEK! Even though he was performing later, MNEK just decided to go into the crowd to enjoy the acts like us fans and it was just another reason why i love the man. Despite only singing a few songs, his set was unbelievable as well, showcasing the amazing vocals that he has. I am currently waiting for him to release another concert for me to attend.


After a couple more acts, including will.i.am, Sigala and Craig David, Flo Rida came onstage. I must admit, the rapper doesn't have the best voice or songs but he sure got the crowd going with his set. Throughout his fairly big set for an artist of his popularity, Flo Rida was throwing roses into the crowd and also spraying champagne, which i managed to get a great photo of. I was pleasantly surprised by his set and i made me not mind seeing him again.


One of the last acts of the night was someone who i am in love with right now, Ariana Grande. I had never seen her before and she was actually one of the main reasons why i wanted to go to the event. The pretty tiny girl impressed all 80,000 people inside the stadium with her incredible range and brilliant performance. Performing the longest set of the night, Ariana was one of the best people i have ever seen live, pleasing everyone by performing both her old, classic hits and her new material. Her set alone made this a night i'll never forget.
During her song One Last Time, Ariana Grande was walking around the stage, trying to engage with everyone before directly in front of me! That brief minute or two where i was about a metre away from Ariana Grande, one of my favourite people, is probably the  greatest and happiest moment of my life so far and i felt so in the moment with the buzz and adrenaline rushing through me, it is a moment i will definitely never forget. Even though it may not be the greatest of quality, I took a snapchat on my phone of the singer directly opposite me and it has to be one of my favourite photos I've ever taken as it shows how excited i was by the slight shakiness, and also how close i was by not having to zoom in at all. Ariana Grande was one of the best people i have ever seen live (excluding Beyonce) and i cannot wait until her Dangerous Woman tour dates come out for the UK so i can have a chance of seeing her again.

Before i end this post, i thought i would talk about some other great acts that i didn't manage to get any good pictures of. Firstly there is Jess Glynne who i am a massive fan of as she always performs amazingly and has some great songs. This time wasn't any worse with her singing a big set and getting the crowd singing along too. Secondly, there was Major Lazer who got the crowd jumping to their infectious beats and put everyone in a good mood for the rest of the night. Thirdly, theres Zara Larsson who i have become a big fan of recently as she has an incredible voice and puts on an incredible show, in fact i really think that she weirdly sounds a little like Rihanna. Lastly, theres my guilty pleasure, also known as Craig David. I think Craig David was one of the best acts of the night after Ariana Grande, doing a mammoth dj set and getting the crowd jumping with both his old and new stuff; i am currently trying to grab tickets to his upcoming tour.
Overall, the event was amazing and has to be one of the best days of my life (yet again excluding Beyonce) as it was amazing from start to finish. I really recommend you try and go to the Summertime Ball next year as it is an event you'll never want to forget!

7 Songs You Should Listen To Pt.2

So in todays post, i thought i would share with you some more songs that i have been loving at the minute. These songs aren't your generic chart songs but they sure are good ones, at least in my opinion. I hope you enjoy...

Alessia Cara - Stars
You may have seen me mention Alessia Cara on my latest music post but she is one of my favourite artists in the industry at the moment. As soon as i first heard the song 'Stars' i immediately fell in love with it and how raw and emotional the lyrics are. The song actually helped me through a pretty bad time a couple of months ago as well as i felt extremely connected to the lyrics. I still love this song to this day and you should really give it a listen.






Selena Gomez - Perfect
I have grown up listening to Selena Gomez since she was on Disney and i honestly think her latest album is her best by far. As the album states, this is the "Revival" of Selena and the song 'Perfect' is a great example of that. The song has an infectious beat and shows how Selena has changed from her Pop days, with the song having a bit of an Indie and Alternative twist. This is my favourite song off her album and i recommend you hear it.





Kamau Ft. No Wyld - Jusfayu
I am in LOVE with this song right now, it has to be one of my favourites at the moment. The song is completely acapella with the only thing not coming from their mouths being their hands clapping and it 100 percent works. The artist, who i didn't know before hearing this song, has an amazing and unique voice and i genuinely believe that if the song was made by an artist who was considered popular, it would be a number 1 single!





John Newman - Ole
Before this song i never liked John Newman as i thought his voice was quite screechy and annoying but this song is completely different. I like the laid-back approach that John Newman has taken on this song as it makes the listener feel really relaxed. The song was also produced and written by Calvin Harris which i found weird as it hasn't got an uptempo beat like his usual music; it was also written about Taylor Swift before the two broke up.





Little Mix - The End
Say what you like about Little Mix but i genuinely think they have brilliant voices (especially Perrie) and this song proves that. 'The End' is an acapella song which really showcases their brilliant vocals and their harmonies. This is one of my favourite songs of theirs and when i saw the girls live back in March, the song was even better as you saw the girls reach the really high and low notes that you wouldn't expect. I really think you should give this one a listen.





Shawn Mendes - Three Empty Words
Before i wasn't the biggest Shawn Mendes fan but since hearing some of the songs from his upcoming album, i have fallen in love with him, even buying tickets to see him in June next year! I am loving the new direction that Shawn is going in with the majority of the songs on the album just Shawn and maybe one or two instruments and the song 'Three Empty Words' is simply just Shawn and his guitar which i love. I think this really proves what he can do in terms of his voice and i hope the rest of the album is as good when its released.




Rudimental Ft. MNEK & Sinead Harnett - Baby
Last but not least, we have a song that is actually a couple of years old now. I stumbled across 'Baby' when i was looking through some of MNEK's songs on Spotify and i really think it is one of his best. Being just 18 at the time of recording the song, MNEK and his collaborator Sinead Harnett show some seriously good vocals and then when its accompanied by one of Rudimental's infectious beats it becomes even better. This song is definitely worth a listen.

I really recommend you add any of these songs to your playlist as they are truly worth a little listen. I hope you enjoyed...

The Top Places To Take Photos In Brighton

Today i thought i would post a different type of post on this blog as i think it will help anyone reading this who is struggling for photo ideas in and around my hometown of Brighton. These locations/attractions are things that i think are great places to take photos and i hope you take this on board and maybe even take some photos there.

Brighton Beach & The i360

When people think of Brighton, one of the first things they think of is our pebbly beaches and theres no need to wonder why! Our beaches can make beautiful photography no matter the weather and can look completely different on one day compared to the next. I have taken masses of photos on the beach and i expect i'll take a lot more in the future, even if it is quite generic for someone who lives literally five minutes away from there. If there is ever a perfect time for you to come and take photos of the beach, it would have to be when the sun is shining! In my opinion, if you are going to be going to the beach to purely take photos, I would try and go on a sunny day in the winter months of years as you can make it seem like a scorching day and you won't have a massive population of people in your photos. 

Another thing that i think is fun and unique to take photos of is the British Airway's i360 which is located on the beach. Even though you would have to pay to go onto the attraction, i find that the best photos actually come from underneath as in the evening, the attraction lights up and adds more detail to the photo. Also, if you are thinking of taking photos of this, i would recommend you go either before or while the sun is setting as you get both the sky and the light.

The Kensington Street Graffiti

If you know much about Brighton, you'll know that there is a lot of graffiti scattered around the city and the best has to be on Kensington Street. The street is simply just a run-down, unpopulated street situated in the lanes that has been brought to life with graffiti. You'll be amazed by some of the huge murals covering the street as you walk along it! All of the graffiti is also extremely detailed, even being able to see some of the wrinkles on the people's faces. If you come to Brighton, you should really come and see this quiet part of an extremely busy town.

The Beach Huts

The Beach Huts are extremely popular in Brighton & Hove, being scattered all along the seafront. One of the reasons why i like the beach huts is because of their variety; you can get pretty much any colour/pattern on the masses of little huts. If you do choose to see the beach huts and take photos, i would recommend you come to the beach huts located in the West Hove area as it is considered very relaxing and peaceful compared to the highly-populated Brighton with all of its tourists. The beach huts are great things to look at whilst in Brighton.

The Brighton Centre

This last one might only be a top photo destination for concert-lovers like me but if you have the money, i would recommend you go and see a concert in the Brighton Centre. Although it might not look that appealing on the outside, you can get amazing pictures of some amazing artists inside as it is not too big, meaning you don't need much zoom. To your left is a picture i took of Jason Derulo just on my pretty rubbish Sony phone. Even though i might have been right near the front, on a proper camera with a good zoom, you can get brilliant photos from nearly everywhere in the venue.

So i hoped you enjoyed this post giving you tips on where to take photos in Brighton and i hope you take them on board when you next decide to engage in some photography.

The 5 Best Albums Released So Far This Year...

Today i thought i would let you guys on on what, in my opinion, are the best albums released so far this year. These are all albums that i have been listening to non-stop this year and i hope you give these a listen too...

5. Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
I have always been a pretty big fan of Ariana's since she was on Nickelodeon and you can't deny she has an unbelievable range and a great voice. With her massive vocals that are good enough to rival nearly everyone in todays music industry, it would've been hard for her to make a bad album and i honestly think this is her best album yet. On her third studio album, Ariana Grande decided to mix her pop image with a little bit of edm and rap on her songs. In particular, her song Be Alright is amazing as it features both her incredible vocals and an amazing beat alongside it. You should give it a listen if you haven't already.

4. Frank Ocean - Blonde
If you've read my previous music post, you'll know that i am in LOVE with Frank Ocean and all of his music and his new album Blonde is definitely not a disappointment. I find all of this album so calming and peaceful and it also puts me in an amazing mood. If i had to say one song to listen to, i probably couldn't so I'm gonna say three. Firstly, theres Ivy which i actually mentioned in my most recent music post (look at that post to see my views on that song), theres White Ferrari which is probably the most calming song on the album, and finally theres Solo which is incredible as all of Frank Ocean's songs are as it makes you want to sing-a-long. You should really try and listen to the album though...

3. Drake - Views
Before about a year ago, i wasn't a fan of Drake and didn't really listen to his music. Then i got recommended some of his music from my friend and now I'm hooked on his music. His latest album Views is an incredible album, well it must be to be above Frank Ocean & Ariana Grande, and i leaves you not wanting to skip a single song. My two favourites on the album are Controlla (which like Ivy is featured on my previous music post) and Childs Play which is really catchy and unordinary. This album will make you fall in love with the rap genre.


2. Alessia Cara - Know It All
Alessia Cara is the one person on this list that you may never heard of as she is an up and coming artist. I first started listening to her after stumbling across her music on YouTube and i immediately fell in love. Her voice is both incredible and unique and she is a really unappreciated artist in todays industry. This album is an album that will make you feel happy and energetic but also an album that will make you feel her emotions and put you in her shoes. My favourite songs on the album are Outlaws as it feels very soulful and almost Amy Winehouse-esque and Stars which is extremely emotional and actually helped me through a hard time in my life not so long ago; Alessia Cara is someone that you should really try and listen to!

1. Beyonce - Lemonade
At number one, who else would it be but Beyonce. Beyonce is my idol and i value her work ethic highly, doing whatever she can to be successful. Her sixth studio album Lemonade is a piece of art with a cryptic and mysterious film connecting the songs together. This album may even be my favourite album of hers as like Alessia Cara's album is is both energetic/happy and very emotional. Another reason why i like this record is the fact that it was a complete surprise (like Frank Ocean's, even though i forgot to mention it), making all of the hype around the album escalate massively. My two favourites on the album have to be Daddy Lessons as it makes me want to sing-a-long and Sandcastles as it is another emotional and heartfelt song. This album is one-of-a-kind though and you should really check it out.

 So i hope you enjoyed this post and if you do have a spare couple of hours, make sure you try and listen to these brilliant albums.

A Night In London ~ 01/09/16

A couple of days ago, I went to stay in London for the night after doing several activities in the country's capital so i thought i would take some photos and share them with you...

Me and my mum headed to London at about noon and once we got there we checked into our hotel (the Thistle Hyde Park, i'd stay there if you wanted to stay around the city centre) and looked around/ unpacked. Even though i don't have any photos to share with you, the room was beautiful! With a fairly large TV rested on an amazing marble desktop and a massive bathroom, also with gorgeous marble work surfaces. We had to leave quickly though so we didn't witness it in all it's glory.

Motown The Musical

After a short tube ride, we arrived at the Shaftesbury Theatre to see Motown The Musical. I thought the musical would be great as I am a big fan of the music and i was not disappointed! The musical was based around the start of the record label and how it progressed; it was filled with all of Motown's biggest successes and songs, making it a massive hit in my eyes. Although, as you might of guessed, i wasn't able to take any photos inside of the venue but i did take one outside (shown on the left) to remember what was a truly great show.

After watching the show, we got a tuc-tuc through the city centre (which was honestly the highlight of my trip) to the Hard Rock Cafe where we was having dinner. Our tuc-tuc driver took us through Piccadilly Circus, seeing everything in lights before heading to the restaurant and i really think it was something i will never forget. 

After the little tuc-tuc ride, we arrived at Hard Rock Cafe, a place where i have wanted to go for ages and it didn't let me down at all. With old records and famous guitars overcrowding the walls, the decor was incredible and the food was even better. For my dinner i got a burger with bacon and an onion ring inside; it was one of the best burgers i have ever had! If you are looking for a place to eat in London, i strongly suggest you go to the Hard Rock Cafe.

Hyde Park

After having our meal in Hard Rock Cafe, we headed across the road to Hyde Park. I saw this as a great opportunity to take photos and took quite a lot, experimenting with the different settings on my DSLR (I'm only going to show a few on this post though as i don't just want to flood you with images.

I found this walk really relaxing and tranquil, doing what i love in such a beautiful location. I took photos of pretty much anything i could. From statues scattered around the park to random people who captured my eye, i don't think there were many things i didn't take a picture of. My favourite pictures that i took in Hyde Park were the one to your left (I think it looks like a pose that real people would make, yet it is recreated perfectly in statue form) and the one below (i like the slight blur that my camera created unexpectedly)

Overall, the little photo session was a perfect end to my jam-packed and exciting day. I loved how relaxing it was after rushing around London all day, doing various activities. If you are stuck for things to do and have a camera, you should really try doing something like this.

The Photographers Gallery
After a lovely night in my hotel, we headed to The Photographers Gallery near Oxford Street and it was really aesthetically pleasing. I found it so nice to get an insight into what some major photographers think and their process for capturing their photos. In particular, i loved the portrait photography by a photographer who i can't actually remember. This was actually quite surprising for me though as i don't usually find portrait photography as appealing as landscape but i loved how you could clearly tell the expression on the models.

Overall, The Photographers Gallery was yet another unique addition to this trip, making it an amazing couple of days in the capital. After the gallery, we went for a shop along Oxford Street, probably spending more then we should've, before heading back home to Brighton.
The trip was an amazing experience, doing a unique variety of activities and if you are heading to London for a day or two, you should really try and do any of these activities.
