Life: Notting Hill Carnival 2014

This weekend I paid a visit to the annual Notting Hill Carnival in London. Thankfully the weather was pretty sunny, so no rain coat was needed and Grace from All That Slap and I made a day of it, watching the amazing costumes and dancers, having a little boogie to the music and stocking up on delicious food. 

I thought I’d share a few of my favourite photos from the day – it really is a riot of colour, loud music and delicious smells (which are hard to capture on a camera!) and I hope you enjoy them. I was travelling pretty light, so left my DSLR at home and took all of these photos on my LG G3* phone camera.  Despite getting a bit snap happy, I was really impressed at how well the battery lasted throughout the day – my old iPhone wouldn’t have stood a chance! I’ll definitely be using it again for ‘on the go’ blog photography – it’s one of the best phone cameras I’ve used in a long time!

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the Carnival:

  3. Oh I'd love to have gone to this, looks like such a great day! And the photos have come out really well for a phone camera, I think a lot of them rival the iPhone's camera nowadays
