Instagram Photography Tour – #giffgaffsnaps

Instagram Photography Tour with Joe Bloggers and Best London Walks review - #giffgaffsnaps
Last night I went on a Instagram photo tour with Joe Bloggers and Best LDN Walks. The event was sponsored by giffgaff, so naturally the hashtag for the event was #giffgaffsnaps. We were also lucky to have Phil Hibberd from Photo Made Simple with us to tell us some tips and trick on general photography and snapping cool pictures on our phones. 

As the event took place outdoors from 7pm to 9pm, my first worry was “will it rain?” and my second worry was “will my phone cope in the dark?” Luckily enough it only rained a little bit and I’ll let you judge whether my phone did a good job or not! 
Here are some of my Insta and Twitter snaps!

This one is definitely my favourite “non-robo”photo! πŸ™‚
Best LDN Walks offers load of different themed tours including Christmas Shopping in London, Hidden London, Royal London, Haunted London etc. The one we went on is called the “Instagram Photo Tour,” which took us through the most iconic places in London including London Eye, Big Ben, Embankment, Waterloo Bridge, Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel, Trafalgar Square and so on. The only place that I didn’t know from before is the Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel, which is the only authorised graffiti area in central London. 
I was with Jess (Look what I got) most of the time because we were both really slow and constantly snapping! So sorry if I bombarded your Instagram with random London pictures, I usually don’t “Instagram” so much! I got a couple of followers who couldn’t cope with my “over-activity,” but alas it only happens once in so long! I won’t do it again in the near future! πŸ˜›
I wanted my photos to look “extra special” so I ended up adding a “robot” to all my photos! What? No, I didn’t bring “him” with me on purpose, he was attached to my key ring… long story, don’t ask. Sorry, I’m a little childish, can’t help it! πŸ˜› You can find more pictures of him under #RobotOnTour!

    I saw some of the photos people were taking on the Joe Bloggers twitter page. It looks like a really good event. I barely take any pictures with my phone anymore because I'm too in love with the quality of my DSLR photos, but I think this shows you can get some great snaps no matter what camera you are using it.

      Thank you! It's was a pain trying to get the camera to focus on the robot, but some of the photos turned out ok in the end. πŸ™‚ x
