A Wonderful, Breezy & Sunny Day Out in London.
It was the perfect time for me to travel up to London on the 26th September as the weather was lovely, the scenery was beautiful and on a clear day like this, it was wonderful.
Whilst I was up in London, I used the opportunity wisely to photograph certain areas of London; Borough Market was beautiful, but so was the landscape. To tell you the truth, it’s not the first time I’ve been up to London on my own as I went up to London just a few short weeks before when I was planning my route to get to Camden, which I must say is also beautiful, but the fact that it was nice and sunny gave me the perfect opportunity to seize the moment by photographing certain areas of the landscape, whilst also photographing the Shard.
Honestly, London is absolutely beautiful on a sunny day, and the 26th September was the perfect example of how sunny days should be; warm, breezy, bright and beautiful and that’s why I had a wonderful, breezy and sunny day out in London.
I experimented with the low-light features on my Nikon D3300 DSLR to see how the landscapes and portraits would appear in certain situations if it was light or dark, as this helped me to visualise the landscape differently as if it was daylight one minute and sunset the next.
Below is the full collection of photographs I produced whilst I was up in London.
It was absolutely wonderful, but busy when I went up to London towards the end of September and I was glad to have seized the opportunity to visit London at the peak of Summer.
If you ever get a chance to visit London and Borough Market in the Spring and Summer months, I suggest you do because London and Borough Market are beautiful places, and you’d be crazy to not seize the opportunity to visit London and Borough Market.
If you enjoyed my photography collection of my visit to London and Borough Market, please tell me in the comments. I would love to hear your responses.

Make a Difference for World Mental Health Day!
Today is World Mental Health Day, so if you are someone or know someone who has a mental health condition, today is about coming together and supporting everyone regardless of what mental condition you and everyone else has or may have.
The ‘Mental Health Organisations‘ page is designed to help all those like yourself who may be suffering from Mental Health, and as this page I set up earlier this year aims to provide help, support and treatment for those who may have a mental health condition or may have a condition not connected to mental health, so if you want to reach out to someone or to a support line that will specialise in whatever kind of mental health condition or condition you may have, this page, I hope, will help you.
Let’s come together and end this stigma once and for all.

Happy International Women’s Day!
As today is International Women’s Day, I wanted to make sure all women across the world get to celebrate being the women they are and to always be themselves.
All women deserve equality, diversity, respect, compassion, care and love regardless of skin colour, sexuality, gender, culture, religion and place of origin and it’s right for all of us, including myself to celebrate all women as part of International Women’s Day.
World, please come together and celebrate all of the women and celebrate International Women’s Day in style and most of all, always be yourselves and who cares what every society thinks of you? Just be yourselves and never give a damn about how anyone sees you and always be happy 🙂

The Word: Telling it As it Is. Launching Friday 27th May 2016.
A new community-based newspaper, titled: “The Word: Telling it As it Is.” launches on Friday 27th May 2016.
As the tagline: “Telling it As it Is.” suggests, this soon-to-launch community-based newspaper is aimed at focusing on the ongoing events that are occurring in day-to-day life, whilst getting straight to the point about certain topics that are being talked about, not just in the present day, but also based on what the future holds.
A good friend of mine from school approached me to announce the news of The Word, and I thought it would be nice to contribute to the launch by helping out by creating a professionalised set of logos based on the concept logo that my friend sent me just a few days ago.
This news comes as the 27th May launch date is just over a month away from now, and I wanted to make sure all of you were the first to know of this news.
The Word newspaper will cost 50p from the moment it launches on the 27th May, and it will cover the bases of the most current topics that are going each day or each week.
This is exciting news, and it sure is straight to the point with the tagline, and I believe that it will capture anyone’s attention with the logo’s bold approach.
The Word is currently being funded on the crowdfunding site, crowdfunder.co.uk, and has just 32 days to go from now. So far, £620 has been raised for this newspaper to become reality, and it has to reach £3,500 in order for The Word to become a part of reality and a part of daily life. If you want to chip in and make the community-based newspaper, The Word, become a part of reality and also a part of everyday life, then please click here.

Quote of the Day #7
“If you can excel in life with the hard work you produce, then you will find that the hard work you have produced will not only pay off in the end, but you will also find that you will excel further than you think. You are stronger than you think, it’s believing in yourself and being yourself that will help you to achieve so much in life, and it’s also believing yourself and being yourself that will help you to excel much further in life. Be confident, be yourself and take control of your own life. Just be yourself.” – Alex Smithson
Quote of the Day #6
”Show to everyone that you are determined to succeed in life. Everything doesn’t get handed to you on a plate. If you really want to succeed in life and if you really want something that much in life, work for it. Work hard now because you will find it will all eventually pay off in the end. Follow your dreams and work hard now, as it will pay off in the end.” – Alex Smithson
