Rhythm of the city
The serene conditions on the quiet streets of Bristol during the early hours of the morning is something I always particularly enjoy getting up for. Cleaning my kit and packing the camera bag, I decided on equipping the 18-140mm lens only for this outing - I felt prepared and was relishing the chance of exploring around. Whilst making my way into the heart of the city, I could see the sky forming above into a mixture of pale purple/orange hues - filling me with the hope of photographing a dramatic sunrise!

It's these moments where sometimes you have to stop and take in the scene you're in...

I often find that no matter what the weather conditions are, there are plenty of opportunities to create a unique image. The contrast of old and new within the city also provides a wide range of themes and subjects to explore.
