Another Rainy August WE

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 100mm – 1/125s f/2.8, ISO 100 – With an overcast day, it’s important to find some colourful objects in the picture. I waited a bit to get someone to sit on the bench but Kew was quite empty this day.

Still catching up on overdue posts—here are some highlights from the second weekend of August. Despite the rain, we made the most of Jessica and Matthew’s visit from Singapore. Saturday was spent exploring Kew Gardens, and Sunday took us to Hyde Park, where we somehow managed to dodge most of the downpours.

It was another great opportunity to use our trusty 50mm f/1.8 lens. The last three shots here were taken with it, and it never fails to impress with its sharpness and natural feel.

After a full day with Chiara, though, staying awake past 10 PM feels impossible—she’s non-stop from 6 AM these days! 🏃‍♀️📸🌧️
