Fun at Madame Tussauds in London, with a Leica Q
Last week I was in London for a pleasure trip with my sister and my nephew who had never been in the city before. Of course, it's been a touristic stay, visiting the classic sightseeing, including the famous Madame Tussauds, where the waxworks of famous and historic people and also popular film character are exposed. I was not planning to do serious photography there, I mean, with my Leica Q, but only souvenirs snaps with the iphone. But, wait a moment...
Once in, I realized that this place could be a good gym where to train a kind of street photography, where the subjects, does'nt move at all!!And having my nephew and my sister role playing with the statues, well, I realised I could make some nice photos.
