Shot for the Day (10 October 2018)

This weekend was my first chance in a while to venture out with the camera. I had fairy poor luck with the light, After a stunning afternoon, the moment I arrived at my first London location, the light turned very flat and the scenery became very uninspiring. I used the opportunity to scout out locations for future moments, when the light was better.

I decided to wonder along the Thames and shoot the Millennium Wheel around sunset. However, I spotted this attraction on the banks of the river, close to the Wheel. It was the juxtaposition of the red in the Union Flag against the warm dusk sky that grabbed my attention, along with the big top circus feel of the blue and white striped arms.

It was a glorious day in London today, so I grabbed the camera and headed to the South Bank. As Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are currently under wraps, the Millennium Wheel seemed like a good place to grab a few shots.  This photograph was exposed for almost 7 minutes, hence the motion blur and absence of people (best way to remove them from the scene).

London Eye at dawn

Early yesterday morning, I stood opposite the London Eye to watch the dawn of a new day in London.  The shot above is a panorama of four shots stitched together of the south side of the River Thames.  The image is almost 18k pixels in width.

The shot below was taken a few moments before that, as the first light of day broke behind the Wheel.  The maintenance team still had the red lights on the wheel switched on and the so too for the Marriott County Hall Hotel.
