Hi all
Myself and Rob (HHCanon) met up in London on Sunday for a very pleasant day's stroll! We met at Warwick Road tube station, and walked along Regents Canal, into Camden Market & Locks, visited St Pancras station, and ended up in Regents Park! It was quite hot and sunny with brief thunder and lightning, so a normal London summer's day really!
All shots taken handheld, using my 550D, 15-85 IS USM lens, mostly using AV mode, but no flash cover (sorry Nat, couldn't resist putting that in!)
Here's the first selection of shots (more to follow)...
I thought the reflection of trees with the engine oil from the boats caused a nice effect...
1/100, f11, iso200, @32mm

After nearly 3/4 of a mile, we needed a coffee, so we stopped here. Note the sloping walkway on the left - used to be used by the horses as they walked round the canal tunnel we're sitting over. The tunnel is 272 mtrs long!

A little bit of canal side humour...
1/80, f11, iso200, @70mm

This set would not be complete without a canal boat...

Into Camden Market, and this chap was selling hand bags! (I'm not too good at candid yet, but I'll get there!)
1/160, f11, iso400, @70mm

then we caught one of those new high speed tube trains...

More to follow in pt 2.
I have also posted shots in the Panorama and Nature / Birds sections from this day's walk! You may wish to have a look!
C&C welcome!
Hope you enjoy them! All the best, Mike.
