Day 2 in London:Kensington Palace

We started the 2nd day slightly later than we planned and it became abit of a mess after that. we walked to kensington gardens from our hostel. parks in london are really huge! kl should do something like this(and keep it well maintained!) we then went into kensington palace, where diana used to stay. it was fairly interesting and a small tribute to the late princess as well.no photos inside but kelly still chose to take..:P i might have to write an article on photography ethics in the future.

the palace,shot from quite far, i didn't want tourists inside my pic so i shot from the fence.those metal balls are an eyesore though. it's supposed to be made for diana.they're metallic flowers in remembrance of the thousands of flowers she recieved on her death.if miyajima/nara has deers,hyde/kensington gardens definitely have squirrels ! and they're so tame and bushy!i might print a big picture of this :P

photography ethics....yeah, I understand you very well there. Last time, I too was S.O.B who disregard any norm concerning photography and just take the hell of anything I want and just walk away snickering after being warned/scolded.

But after 3 years in Japan....I came to know about the ethics, and I now scorn people who do the things I did last time...

malaysia is probably one of the worst place for photography ethics. u shoot anything,anyone no matter what they say.

if the place says no photography, then don't take,it might not spoil the things there, but somethings are just better kept in memories.

how if we didn't know that they don't allow us to take any photos in a particular area; and we happened to take some shots there? it's unintended, but would you say you are going against the rules set?

if it's unintended then thats too bad,apologize. i've taken my fair shots of unintended pics but dont go use this as an excuse that for the first shot 'i didn't know/see'!
