On Wednesday 2nd September I met up with Ed Spencer of Sigma UK for a “Waterloo Photo Tour” by the National Theatre on the South Bank. On this day my iPhone and EOS R10 were on different time zones so the images are probably a bit jumbled up…
On the way to the South Bank I took a detour through Leake Street to get there to see the street art. Once over York Road I headed for the London Eye down Chicheley Street.
From there I headed to the National Theatre to meet up for the walk. This is the first Sigma lens that I tried on my EOS R10.
Picking something to eat…
Skate Park
No skaters or bikes as we passed but there was a video shoot taking place.

To Waterloo Bridge
From the South Bank we walked up to Waterloo Bridge to Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women. We had to take shelter as by now the forecast rain had started.
Another photo shoot at the side the National Theatre.
A huge mural was being prepared. I tried out zooming with the lens.
Outside what had been the Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women.
The iMax cinema…
St John’s Church
After the crossing over we were at St John’s hospital. Walking down the side revealed a large public space.
The Cut
Down Waterloo Road to the Old Vic.
From The Cut we walked into the backstreets that are often used for locations for films and TV shoots.
Lunch at the EV Deli
Down Joan Street and then onto Isabella Street – both pedestrian only to the EV Deli.
The next lens…
The Cut and Union Street…
The two Sigma lenses were excellent and the zoom is on my wish list for when I upgrade the R10.
