Hi everyone, I have to make this one really quick because I have limited Internet at where I’m staying; here’s a video compilation of some of the things we did today and also a few of my favorites; most are straight out of the camera since I don’t have time to edit them now :P. Although Oliver and I toured the entire day, we didn’t start get interesting shots until night time. The sun never came out today :(.

We took a quick tour on a bus and rode the subway all over London today, visiting some of the main spots like Big Ben, The London Eye, and Tower Bridge. We also checked out some pretty nice restaurants and pubs. More to come tomorrow or when I get to Rome on Friday. Just want to say Merry Christmas to you all. It’s freezing here, just the way I like it, Btw, I lost count on the number of places I’d like to shoot an engagement session here in London :).

Europe Trip Update #2 – Underground Trails from Henry Chen Photography on Vimeo.

The Eye, Aquarium, and Movieum; unfortunately pretty much all the rides and attractions were closed early due to the Christmas holiday, how lame!

Catching a connection on the subway aka the underground aka the tube:

Corner of Oxford and Regent, super busy area with a ton of buses:

Navigating around the underground tunnels was so much fun; it felt like we were in a maze, except there were directions everywhere so we found our way around pretty easily.

Huge floats all around Oxford and Piccadilly Circus:

London has some of the most amazing glass structures:

The ever famous Big Ben:

Eating at this Italian restaurant in Covent Garden; too bad pretty much all the places were closed already.

A view of the the Tower of London with the Tower bridge right next to it:

The British absolutely loves this man and so do I :).

Another look at the London Eye:

More running around the subway trails:

I’m not sure what the last two structures are but the lighting was unbelievable. All the shots were taken with my Canon 5D and the 24/1.4L lens; around ISO 1250-1600, shutter speed around 100-160, and aperture around 1.4-2.8.
