London Summer - Entry 3

 Hello Everyone, 

this week has been really great, we got to explore the Kew Gardens, China town, and the Victorian Albert Museum. We also got to see an immersive experience of "Guys and Dolls" which definitely made the night memorable. The actors and actresses were amazing, and the choreography was brilliant! The Kew Gardens were gorgeous, they were so much bigger than I thought they'd be. While in the gardens, we got to explore the treetops and the Kew Palace (the home of George the 3rd and Queen Charlotte). Here are some photos from my week!

Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023 
This was taken at the Gardens behind the Kew Palace. I love the Palace because of the rustic red color. I think it really stands out against the green hedges. 

Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023
Taken during our walk through the Gardens. I was drawn to these flowers because of the vibrant purple color and the unique circular shape. 

China Town - 06/13/2023
Taken during our walk through China town, and I loved how the lanterns crisscross across the buildings. 

Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023
I took this because I loved the shape and color of the flowers surrounded by the lily pads. The colors played great off each other, the soft pink with a yellow center was perfect against the green lily pads. 

Victorian Albert Museum - 06/14/2023
When entering the Victorian Albert Museum, I saw this interesting angle and loved the way the lines traveled. I wanted to try and center the plant towards the center to capture it as though its shooting up towards the center. 

Here are my "Best of" photos from my time this week. 

Kew Gardens - 06/12/2023
I love this picture because of the way the trees create depth down the path, and I think is perfect for taking pictures. 

London Bridge - 06/13/2023
Taken during our walk to see "Guys and Doll," this was the first time I had seen London Bridge up close. 

Look forward to adding more photos this week!

    Hey, Cordelia! I love your first photo of the back of Kew Palace. I really like how you centered the well with the building, and the angle helps the palace looked even more grand! I also love your picture of the lanterns in Chinatown, I would definitely include this one in your final portfolio. Keep it up, you have a great eye!

    Hey Cordelia - I couldn't agree more with Allie. I love your photo of Kew Palace. You've centered it really well, so that even with the well in the middle, there's a perfect symmetry among all the elements. Definitely hope to see this in your final portfolio. Another photo that stuck out to me was the photo you took at the Victoria & Albert Museum. It reminds me of something almost celestial. Really cool!

London Summer - Entry 5

Hello Everyone, We have made it halfway through week 3, the final week of our study abroad trip. We have gotten to explore so many great places this week like Oxford, Loosely Gardens, and Tate Modern. While in Oxford, we got to see a play based off the book "The Ocean at The End of the Lane." It was so different than the other plays we've seen so far, and I loved it. The story was engaging and unique, I loved the ending, even though it was sad.  Here are some possible portfolio options! London Eye - 06/20/2023  This was taken during our night photography class, and I love the vibrant colors of the Eye, and I like how the trees look over the colors.  St Paul Cathedral - 06/20/2023 While we were walking towards Tate Modern, I got the chance to take this shot of the statue in front of the Cathedral. I like this angle because it looks like the statue is pointing at the viewer and the clock can be seen in the background.  Loosely Gardens - 06/19/2023 I have been experimenting

Hello Everyone, I have officially been in London for 4 days and it has been unreal. We got the opportunity to explore the Tower of London, Brunswick Centre, the British Museum, and a theatre on the west end along with so many other amazing attractions. My personal favorite would have to be the time I spent at the Tower of London. The Beefeater who guided our tour was hilarious and a great storyteller and I loved learning about the history of the tower. Below are some of my favorite photos that I got to take during my travels.  Street art tour - Graffiti Tunnel - 06/05/2023 I wanted to capture an angle where the tunnel follows a line into the light.  Spitalfields Market - 06/05/2023 This was taken during our time exploring Spitalfields Market. I like this image as it implements the concept of using lines to lead the eyes down the street.  Along the River Thames - 06/05/2023 Exploring the attractions along the river Thames such as Big Ben and the London Eye was surreal. I captured this

 Hello Everyone, We have officially made it through week 2 of study abroad, one more to go! This week flew by, we got to explore the Kew Gardens, House of Dreams, and Blenheim Palace among so many other great locations. We also got to see the Circus which was such a treat as I haven't been to the circus in a long time. Here are some photo choices for my final portfolio.  Neal's Yard - 06/13/2023 Taken during our time in Neal's Yard. I love the vibrant colors of the building and flowers.  Blenheim Palace - 06/17/2023 This was taken while experimenting with Manual Mode. I like how it captures the water shotting up from the fountain. The colors of the Palace are beautiful behind the gardens.  Streets of Cotswolds - 06/17/2023 This was taken during our walk through the Cotswolds. I loved seeing all the gorgeous flowers. Among the different types were these Lavenders. I love this picture because of the vibrant Purple color and how the flowers fill the frame.  Royal Pavillion - 0
