Octavian. As a London born photographer I watch several of the London-based street photographers on KZitem. You are not very familiar with London but I want you to know that your shots are some of the best I have seen recently. Your shots tell small stories. The photo of the girl with sunglasses on her big hair taking a smartphone shot was superb. It's important to me that I tell you this. Looking forward to Part 2. Also, the intro was great!

Thank you ! I really appreciate your compliment. I still have lots to learn. I have a feeling you will like more the pictures from the second part. In terms of street photography it's better and probably these are my best shots so far. I am looking forward to receiving your feedback for the second part :) I dedicated more time to street photography and less to tourist activities :) Thanks again ! Cheers :)

Brave guy. This level of heat can be a big motivator to cancel any outside activity. You definitely checked all the boxes: shadows, reflections, pockets of light and of course the intro, smooth as always. The architecture in London is indeed impresive. Must have been very tempting 😁. The shots came out very very nice. Great one again. Well done 👏👏👏

Brutal heat; glad you did not melt, Octavian. Overall, your photographic eye and style are so well established by now, IMO, that the venue becomes less important. Trademark opening slo-mo stage-setter works well here, too. Favs include 1 (best of reflections), 16, 17 and 24 for layering, and 25 for fountain guy. 14, spray girl OK, but prior “lost shot” of her spraying the guy would have been far better - can’t get them all. 7, kid in composition also works very well. Fish and chips trope - not my preference over pizza - but that donut looked good😁. Too bad about the trip cancellation - have you lined up a replacement (perhaps Romania w/Vladimere?) Cheers!
@OctavianCarare

Hi Paul ! You have been here a long time now and provided quality feedback to the channel, therefore can't wait to have your thoughts on the second part of the video. In my opinion it's my best street photography (in terms of classic street photography) up to date. The chips weren't great (Belgian fires are way better) but the fish was buttery and silky smooth, very good :) and pricey (as everything in London). Donut was very good, again pretty pricey. Again complaining about prices but flights are extremely expensive now to go to Romania, in the holiday season (it's twice cheaper to fly from Brussels to Rome for example). I will be in Barcelona for 3 days next week and in autumn probably a short trip in Romania, trying to arrange a trip with Jeremy :). Thanks again :)
