London
The working city
London's light is undervalued because it arrives sideways, wet, and briefly — which is exactly the recipe for photographs. The city works in villages: Soho's neon doorways, the City's canyon reflections emptied every weekend, markets that have been rehearsing their choreography for centuries.
The Thames organises everything, doubling skylines at every tide and mist. London photographs best in bad weather and knows it.
October–February for low sun, fog chances, and 4 p.m. blue hours; any season's rain redeems the afternoon.
- An Oyster-tapped bus's front top-deck seat is the cheapest tracking shot in photography.
- Public-space photography is broadly free; bailiffed estates (Canary Wharf, More London) enforce their own rules — know whose pavement you're on.
- Fog forecasts (rare, precious) justify cancelled plans: the parks and bridges become Whistler for a morning.
