Guest post: 8 Reasons to love sports photography

While I admire many different types, for me the real joy in taking photographs comes from combining it with another of my passions; sports. As a child both my sister and I competed across the country in various sports and when I wasn't competing I would spend my time photographing others. Here are some of the reasons that I love taking sports photographs.

The best place to improve your macro shots in London

Last Sunday Mark and I pretended to be a Lord and a Lady for the day and went to Fulham Palace for the day. Its gardens are beautiful and the perfect place to practice taking your macro shots, which I just can't get enough of!

Chelsea: what's is all the hype about?

As London's heat wave has continued, on Tuesday I went back to South West London to enjoy the sun. I spent my time exploring Chelsea and discovering what all the hype is about.

On Tuesday my boyfriend (Mark) and I had tickets to Carsten Höller interactive art show, Decision, at the Southbank Centre. We headed to South Bank for the day, and again I was blessed with good weather! 

Since it opened there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the show, particularly in London, and for us it really did live up to the hype.

Discovering Chelsea and Fulham's river bank

Initially I thought I was going to struggle to find beauty whilst I strolled down the river bank catching the sun's rays
