Portraits from London Museums

In September 2014, I visited London along with family. Trip was a gift for my daughter on her 5th birthday. So trip was planned such that, places were given priority for her amusement, like aquarium, London eye, kids camp and huge shopping mall for toys. I tried my best to keep the photography at second place and first preference was given to Gauri. I carried OMD -EM5 Olympus camera, and two lenses, 12-50 and 40 to 150, on full frame it translates to 24 to 300. Camera and lenses are so small that, I could carry them in small waist pouch. Thanks to unbelievable  5way image stabilization of Omd –EM5 and great low light performance up to 6400 iso. Images are from two museums, Victoria and Albert’s museum and British museum; few images are from and around Buckingham palace and few are taken from the sightseeing bus. The art exhibited there was of par excellence, and very often from unknown artists. I tried to render it such that, how those art works evoked emotions within me (No offence to artists). After few years, once more I wish to visit London, just to see British museum. I stood there at the centre of British museum in silence amidst of vast human endeavour from Stone Age to Smartphone.

Emotions

Emotions are strange. Monsoon is setting in and nostalgia is slowly creeping in. Emotions represented in images. Sharing, happy, sad, thinking, trapped all feelings failed to expressed in words are here.
