Evening in Greenwich......

[WereBo]

Waaaaay back in April this year I took myself for an evening wander around Greenwich, whilst praying the rain would stop by the time I got there......  t did and here's some of the results:-

Great set.  Them night shots are most enjoyable.

Thank you Kev7d, I think it's the first time I've been grateful for rain, the departing clouds certainly made a spectacular sunset

First off, welcome back! Great to see you posting again.

I like that set very much, I love how how the images go from day to night. Morden Wharf with its cranes is my favourite.

I'm pretty sure that images that link to external sites aren't allowed on TIPF. As Phil isn't around much at the moment I'll have to rely on Black Pearl to clarify - he'll be along once he's scoffed his pie and chips!

Thank you Korky - I'd forgotted about the external link rule, I'll give myself a couple o' lashes with a camera-strap later...... 

I'm rather pleased with the final shots as they're all hand-held, I have a tripod but it's a heavy beast to be lugging around.  I did cheat and set my camera to 'Auto' everything and let it do the work, I only had seconds as the light was fading or people walking into the shots.

The odd window shot is taken from inside 'The Trafalgar' pub, right next to the Naval College on the river front.  I could see the trees and college through the glass, plus the light and interior of the pub reflected on top, so I went for it and experimented - This was the first  shot

Looking at them again I decided I could improve the Cutty Sark shot, so now it's 'History Night'...

I love all of this set, but the last one is my chosen favourite.

A visit to Greenwich has been on my wish list for years and I've never got round to it. This glorious set reminds me of what I have been missing. I must do it in 2018.

Hello again WereBo - nice set - a very long time since I was there - like 50 years!! Very vibrant sunsets, and it's nice to see the Cutty Sark too.

Thanks for the kind words folks, it's always nice to get good feedback.  I'm tempted to go back again to reshoot the night shots again.  I want to tighten the zoom to exclude the distracting sides, plus there's a dark blob on the bowsprit where the lights can't reach, plus I'd like to get the roof-structure more geometrical in the blue lighting.

Still, considering all these are hand-held shots and no flash, I'm well chuffed with 'em.

On a side-note, I entered the Cutty Sark night shot in one of my photo-club's competitions earlier a couple o' months ago.  The judge (RPS certified from another club) liked the photo but critiqued slightly because the ship is leaning slightly and assumed it was me.  When I informed him the Cutty Sark really leans over by 9°, I got an extra point and came 2nd.

@ David995031 - I can heartily recommend revisiting Greenwich again, the markets, Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory are highly photogenic, then the Cutty Sark and Naval College for evening/night shot shots gives a good day's photo-shoot
