    This time of the morning in London looks so familiar to me typically after stumbling out of an all night rave taking some time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the city on way home or on to next party don't do it as much as all grown up but hey there's still some parties left in the old dog yet ....

    This was my 'hood during my 2013 visit as my hotel was on New Bridge. Took similar route early one morning and captured a picture of the first office workers arriving over Millennial Bridge and later found a stat that reported 300,000 plus people work in The City and less than 10,000 people reside in The City. The vibe of the area is definitely different in early mornings as well as during the week-end. Love this area.

    It would be interesting to shoot aside, away from street. When we are walking we are looking at shopwindows. It would be interesting to see what all those shops have to offer. Little grocery stores are also interesting, to see what fruits they offer. It would be interesting for all those pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, to see inside, how they are decorated. You don't have to enter, you just shoot through windows. Even residential buildings are interesting, to see their entrances and their facades, London has great looking houses.
    Usually you are shooting traffic and people on the streets, these are always the same, ;) .

    • @WatchedWalker
      @WatchedWalker  4 роки тому

      Mario, in some videos I turn the camera to film department store windows - I'm not sure how popular filming a whole video sideways would be, though I may try it sometime to see 🙂

    • @MarioPetrinovich
      @MarioPetrinovich 4 роки тому

      @@WatchedWalker Try it to see how it works. You don't have to turn sideways all the way, in some videos you are doing it just right.
      For example, you shoot strait, then, when shop window comes, you turn camera towards it for 45 degrees, enough so that we can clearly see what is going on. And long enough to see details. And then you turn strait again, until the next shop window. I believe that this would work just fine.
      For example, you are walking by some bookstore, and I am really eager to see how it looks like, but you continue strait, and I actually don't see much. And exactly those shop windows (and facades) is what gives atmosphere to the specific street.
      Thanks, and good luck, :) .

      @@WatchedWalker Few examples:
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      This could be a bit longer, and involve not only the entrance, but a bit of the rest of the building also.
      Or, why not to glance what's inside this grocery shop, and all those fruits?
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      Then, these telephone boots. But also, Boris' bicycles, and everything that is interesting along the way. Possibly interesting motorbikes parked on a motorbike parking. You do shoot historical buildings, and some very interesting things, but the other things are interesting also. Especially for foreigners, who want to "taste" the everyday life of London.
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      Or, just turn camera a bit more towards this guy, so that we can see how he is doing his morning routine. You don't have to stop, just show him clearly, and in full detail:
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      What does this sign says? Not more than 7.5T on a Cleerkenwell Road bridge. Hm, interesting, :) :
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      This is per my taste. But this is the only example I could find in this video:
      ua-cam.com/video/vSIZ_UEQJYU/v-deo.html
      A jogger. Puff, there he goes:

      Passing by stations (underground, train, bus), you can point to the name sign, so that we can orient ourself.
