Hipstadventures: London

Last week I was in London on a short internship, and the weather was great (apart from Saturday when I got drenched in a freak downpour in Oxford Circus) so there were plenty of photo opportunities.

I saw that Hipstography was promoting a user-submitted combo, which turned out to be the G2 lens with the Robusta film. The photos provided to show off the combination were all taken in London with Oggl and looked great so I thought I’d try it out while I was there.

I was based in Bermondsey Street, near London Bridge and the Shard but was a bit nomadic so saw plenty of the city. On Friday I was offered a 12 week internship so I’ll have plenty of time to explore starting from Monday!

The G2 lens is great for warm contrasts, and the Robusta film has become one of my favourites – it has a gritty and dirty feel, with a slightly rough off-white border.

This combination is definitely one to remember for urban shooting.
