London Mayor Himself in classic horse carriage

Gold Carriage was amazingly beautiful. No wonder it is getting outside only once per year.

If you haven’t seen sailors marching on pavement holding rowing paddles.

Of course what is parade without marching troops.

And some leaders on horses.

Also minor royals in state car.

There was group of old mans dancing nearby, even I’m not 100% if this was special for the show day.

London Mayor Show in London is always great place to see dresses and uniforms outside of museums on real people.

There was also official I guess Royal Drummer on horse.

Royal marines travelling with their boat on truck.

It was great London Show with Soldiers from different eras.

Beautiful soldiers uniform in red.

There were soldiers waving real swords, so one could feel like going into war.

Marines marching on London Streets.

And of course properly dressed coachman.

More soldiers with swords.

UK Soldier Saluting to people

This UK Army Commando I guess from Engineering forces really impressed me. He was carrying automatic riffle, pistol, really big sledge hammer / demolition bar, big backpack, ladder, large bolt cutters. It is easy to estimate that all this was heavier than 40kg.

VIP Carriage in London

WWII Military Style soldier on horse.

There was lot of funny participants in parade like this smiling lady from Yorkshire tea in form of giant pot.

Drummer on top of this beautiful horse.

Coachman looking like coming out directly from Charles Dickens Book.

Coachman in bright red uniform with VIP passangers.

When you become high in army hierarchy it is easy to become overweight.

Fur Coated warriors also walked on streets of London as part of London Mayor Show.

There were also generals decorated with feathers.

Happy horse riders in uniforms.

This was end of Lord Mayor Parade London. One great event!

But very glamorous and must do for every Londoner or tourist who is in November in London.

Good bye and see you again on next year show!

Telephoto portraits with 400mm f2.8 Lens

Few weeks ago I did small seminar on Wildlife Photography in London.

I choose Richmond Park as location for this as it is maximum close to wild location, and still with 100% chance that we can see and do photos of wild animals.

After we did all the talking and photos we did also photos of animals and I decide to do few portraits of people which were participating in seminar.

All photos taken with:

Camera: Nikon D850

Lens: Nikkor 400mm f2.8 VR

All on wide open aperture of f2.8

400mm f2.8 have great sharpness and amazing bokeh, but it turn out that communicating with models is quite difficult.

All photos were taken from 10-15 meter distance, so I have to either scream or just show with hands people to move.

But holding 5kg+ combo of 400mm telephoto lens and camera in one hand and showing with other hand was not easy task.

I usually use my Gitzo Monopod with such heavy lenses but it is perfectly hand handable for 10-15 minutes of shooting.

Other factor when shooting people with such long lens was that I was not able to control backgrounds so well as with normal lens.

As usually I would say to models “Move here” or “a little bit on left” but with 15meter distance between photographer and model it is quite hard to give directions.

And I didn’t even try to do full body portraits, as this would have required 20-30 meter distance, and zero chance of communication and directing models.

So conclusion is that even if lens have amazing sharpness, great bokeh it is suitable for portait work only with experience models who know how to pose.

Leave your comments below for experiences with telephoto portraits.

Don’t take a gamble on the only thing left apart from your dress from your precious wedding day and look for only outstanding photography.
Book the best fine art wedding photographer that your budget will allow you to. 

Invest in memorable photos that last a lifetime!

I have huge enthusiasm for wedding photography and art eye to catch all precious moments in best possible way.

I only take very limited number weddings per year due to the shear amount of effort and energy that goes into each one and ultimately to give my clients my utmost attention and the best possible experience. Due to demand it is advised to contact me early to check availability and avoid disappointment. Destination weddings are also possible but only with prior agreements. My prices are the same as a UK wedding, plus the cost of flights and accommodation.

You can see Wedding photo of dreams or ideas can be achieved.
