NoFilter Amsterdam

As some of you may already know at the end of the last year we had an amazing city break in Amsterdam, one of our favourite cities in Europe. As with any trip we took lots of photos and as normal when we returned I did some basic editing through lightroom, as well as posting a few on instagram. Such is life now that we all use some kind of editing wether it be filters, sharpening, levels etc so when I came across the really interesting #NoFilter project run by London City Airport I was keen to be involved. The aim of the project is to get back to the roots of photography and celebrating the fact that photos don't need to be edited heavily with apps such as instagram to show how beautiful the city is.
