Was the Thames Festival in London last weekend, loads going on so a fun opportunity to take the camera out and try some different shots. Particularly enjoyed the gig photography-style shots as it was possible to get ridiculously close to the stage.

A few of my shots from the weekend:

1. The extremely popular and no-doubt lucrative Helter Skelter.
