One of my favourite areas of photography is travel photography. Be that photos taken on holiday in the UK, or further afield. I would love to get some feedback on what you guys think are my best travel photos.

I think the photo above, of the blue car driving through the streets of Havana, Cuba, is probably my favourite travel photo. What do you think though, I would really appreciate if you guys could tell me what are your top 4 favourite travel photos that I have taken. You can have a look at the full collection in the travel segment of my flickr.

If you go have a little look at the travel photos on there, and then come back to the blog and leave a comment on this post. Thanks.

When my brother and I were younger, we would always go with our parents on family holidays. Quite often the holidays would have been to England in the caravan. I always enjoyed going away on these trips, and I think it’s down to these that I have such a love of travel. However, I don’t think I ever really appreciated some of the places we went to, gardens, estates, mansions, quaint little villages etc, and I usually got bored quickly.

Bourton on the Water

Now that I am older though, and also because I am a photographer, I am coming to realise how great these places we went to really were. I want to revisit the places my parents took me as a child. Recently, I had a week off work, and Lorraine and I headed to one of these places. We flew over to Bristol, hired a car and drove up to the Cotswolds fo a few days. It was brilliant, to just relax, with no plans, and appreciate the beautiful area of England we were in. We made the most of the car hire and unlimited mileage, we stayed in Bourton on the Water, and visited Lower Slaughter, Burford, Stow on the Wold, Stratford Upon Avon, Oxford and Bath.

Radcliffe Camera

As always, Lorraine has all the ‘normal’ photos, and I spent a lot of time behind my SLR.

Bath Abbey

There are a few more photos on my Flickr

As I have mentioned before, I love leaving a film in for processing, and getting it back, not really knowing what the shots will turn out like. Although it’s not so nice getting it back and learning that your camera may be starting to play up a bit. My trusty AE1 appears to have its days numbered, there were quite a few non advanced frames and double exposures on this roll, so I will have to keep my eye on in over the next few rolls.

This photo was taken on my Canon AE1, with Ilford XP2 film, it was taken in Monmouth Coffee Shop, outside Borough Market, in London a couple of weeks ago.

There are a few more from this roll on Flickr.

Slight delay in getting this weeks photo up on to the blog. I wanted to use one of my photos from my weekend away in London, but I only got them finished last night. I had a great weekend in London, hanging out with friends, drinking lots of coffee and eating lots of junk food, always good. One thing I have wanted to do in London for ages is look around St. Paul’s Cathedral, and I finally got to on Saturday.

London

This Photo was taken from the very top of  the cathedral, looking west over London. It is really high, and quite windy at the top, but there was a great view on such a clear day. There are more London photos on my flickr, including some taken with my Lensbaby. Also I will be posting some film photos up there, hopefully next week.
