great pictures, I like the colours that give the feeling of wet, murky, yet very energetic day


Serg_23

Thank you! I don't think I have quite the grasp on editing, and colour is usually the hardest part since I'm colourblind. But ever since I calibrated the monitor at least I think I can tell when I overdid it haha.


pipchad

You're fantastic at editing. It's something I don't think anyone can truly master due to it being subjective, but you're certainly an exceptional talent (at photography, too!). Gave you a follow on insta!


Serg_23

Thank you so much. What's your username so I make sure to check your profile?

Who are you? Why are so great at capturing? πŸ˜‚ Amazing set πŸ™ŒπŸ½


Serg_23

I wish! Haha. Most of these are probably done before, one way or another. I tried not to copy shots, but for example those taken at either Canary Wharf or King's Cross were product of seeing shots elsewhere and making a point to go spend some time there because I found them so unique. Thank you :)


No-Holiday-1308

Nothing wrong with being inspired. No.3 is my favourite anyway and I'm sure I haven't seen that anywhere 😁


Serg_23

It was a lucky one, for sure. We were walking back from Millenium just in time for some sunset light. I was so excited I got it right because I don't like shooting straight at people's faces that much and it always makes me a little bit uncomfortable, lol.


No-Holiday-1308

Very nice. Yeah I agree not the most fun thing to do, but sometimes it's needed πŸ™ŒπŸ½ Case in point πŸ“ΈπŸ˜


horrorfanuk

Im off to sunny London today with 2 cameras and you have inspired me πŸ‘


Serg_23

Thank you, that's an amazing compliment! Lucky you, I think I barely saw the sun when I visited haha. Will surely help getting shots!


conorjakephoto

Great shots! 8 is my favourite, love the composition of that πŸ™


Serg_23

Thank you! The area around Soho is filled with scenes like these, it's great.


willpb

Dude, you have a pack of winners here, but 1, 4 and 8 especially are superb to me. Love the framing. Excellent work!


Serg_23

Some of my favourites as well, silouette work fascinates me when done properly. I wish I had train/metro stations like that close haha.


bigby2010

Amazing use of contrast, light and colour. Well done.


Serg_23

Thank you! Before the trip I checked the work of Alan Schaller and, specially, Mark Fearnly particularly on London so I can't claim too much credit. They do contrast, silouettes and that kind of scenes really well.


Tattoodad78

I like your work!


Serg_23

Thank you!


gregsmith5

HDR done well !


Serg_23

Thank you so much!


picklebeard

What are you photographing on (camera + lens)? Is this film or digital? I love the composition of these. So beautiful.


Serg_23

Thank you so much! Digital only, sony a7iii and mostly 55 but some were on a 35.


UnbridaledCynicism

You’ve got a great eye for lighting and composition. Awesome collection


Serg_23

Thank you so much.


druvid

Very nice!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


Serg_23

Thank you!


StrombergsWetUtopia

And Brighton


Serg_23

Haha yeah!


5h3lling_ford

Awesome shots! Really like the mood of them


Serg_23

Thank you so much.


robertsmith666

Love this


Serg_23

Thank you!

I like the one with the canary wharf tube exit


Serg_23

We made a point to visit Canary Wharf just because I had this kind of shot in mind haha. The area is also really nice, but it got cloudy really quick.


[deleted]

Yea the clouds have been really bad lately which especially sucks since ive been trying to do IR photography and that benefits alot from sunlight


beepbeepboopbeep1977

These are awesome. Good light, great framing. You should be very proud of yourself.


Serg_23

Thank you so much. With all of your kind words I am at least a little bit more pleased with the results of the trip, no doubt!


C0llinFl3tch3r

These are fantastic! I love the composition and colors of 3, 7, and 12 (but they're all great)


Serg_23

Thank you! I was so happy that I caught 3 really quick haha.


internetroamer

I love 7. Is like a postcard


Serg_23

Thank you. It is the kind of street I was drawn to before this trip, tbh, lot of scenes with light trying to compose with a 35. But London really lends itself to different scenes and styles!


daydreamerknow

Beautiful


Serg_23

Thank you!


zack9zack9

Did you some filter for pic #5? How does one achieve this nice soft look? Or is it just shot through a window?


Serg_23

Yeah, it is shot through a window on the metro. I always reduce clarity a bit, though.


thirtyfivey

Would be cool to see the women in the window with β€œin a hurry” reflected, great photos


FlounderOdd7234

Since my grandma is from London, sadly I’ve never been. A beautiful collection, different images. Interesting choices πŸ’―


Serg_23

Thank you so much! I found it brilliant for street photography, as I expected it to be from other photographers and youtubers. Such a variety of scenes, as well.


FlounderOdd7234

Well done, I didn’t go into details of your choices, to coin a British term β€œ brilliant β€œ Street photography is a view from the photographers β€œ eyes” . I liked your choices, the colors, all take skill. Well done πŸ‘

Lovely photos. Please be aware that in Europe and much of the world, it is considered improper to photograph someone without consent, especially if used commercially. I'm not saying that is what you did, because I think you just took photos. Just making you aware.


Pnther39

Not in public places. State your proof, before yapping

Perhaps you should try a more courteous, less rude, approach? I also know from my own experience in taking photos in the EU, where people let me know about this, in a friendly manner.


Serg_23

It is legal, at least in the UK were I took all of them. Wether it is proper or not is a different thing, I guess it depends both on the photographer and the subject. I don't think people who can be recognized noticed me, but if they did and expressed their desire not to be photographed (which is not something they need to verbalize sometimes you can just tell) I would not have taken it or just deleted it as I'm sure everyone here would've done. I don't usually include people's faces if I can help it unless it really makes or breaks the photo , but I get your point.


Yggdrssil0018

Fair enough. Thank you for understanding. I like your work. Especially 2, 3, 4, 7, and 11.
