Exploring Photography Level 2

                                                             URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY                                                                         PORTOBELLO ROAD & QUEEN'S PARK                                                            ISO 50 f1.6 1/649s Unusual and bohemian - the essence of Portobello Road. One of my favourite places in London. I return there once in a while to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere.                         ...

                                                          SHUTTER SPEED - or exposure time is the length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light.                                                                    5" f25 ISO 3200 London double-decker bus painted by light. Lights on the bus were on which allowed me to blur the vehicle to the point it looks like a light trail. Used tripod.

I feel like I went back to 90s when kids have no mobile phones and would have to queue to phone boxes. Are they pranking people or calling a drug dealer?
