London Ricoh Meetup | June 14

While on my work trip last week and after leaving Barcelona, I had a one night layover in London. I contacted Cristian Sorega, who I had first met up with and posted here last November, and we agreed to meet again.  I took the train as I did last time from the Luton area down to the Farringdon Station to meet Cristian and his friend Tom.

We walked a bit and took some street shots as we headed to a local camera shop where we looked at some new and used Leica M lenses.  After the street shooting and window shopping we dropped in to a local pub get out of the light drizzle for a chance to enjoy some more conversation and a cold brew.

While in the pub, Cristian shared some of his lenses that I had not handled before along and experimented a bit with them on my Ricoh.  Once our beers were finished we headed to a local Indian Restaurant to savor a late evening dinner.

Upon leaving the restaurant, Cristian and Tom assisted me in getting to the right station to connect back to the train to Luton.

What follows are some photos I took along the way.

  5. I like the wait. Just a pity the cctv camera was not on the left. Try a small cut and paste.

    1. Yes I should probably make that edit. I had already done a bit of cropping and straightening and spent quite a bit of time with that one. I’ve changed my workflow and am now using Lightroom. Maybe if I get a moment I will reprocess this one! Thanks for the suggestion!
