It Had To Be Done

[Phil]

Yeah, I know, they've been shot to death. But who cares!

 

I did have my issues though.

Firstly, the crowds! Hundreds of folk everywhere. And just because I had a DSLR round my neck they all assumed I knew how to use a camera and asked me to take their photos (with their cameras of course)! Must have happened 20 times over the few days we were there.

 

Second. I only had my camera. No tripod, remote release etc. All I had was a wall and a spare battery to wedge under the lens.

I did try holding down the shutter button beyond 30 seconds, that was never gonna be a success

 

Anyway, these are the results.

Thats a cracking set. Big Ben for me

What a fantastic set Phil.....with the London Eye being my favourite.

So pleased to learn that despite London being what it is you seem to hav enjoyed yourselves.

We were there on he coldest day of the year, when we were only too pleased to be able to spend three parts of the day in the Victoria and Albert Museum where I was able to take photographs galore.

For me, the London Eye is the best shot of the four.

 

The blur on the wheel and the light trails look very classy!

not sure about the top pic as it doesn't sit for me with the rest, which I really like and I do think all were shot at that best time before darkness takes over.

These are brilliant, Phil. You may not have had all the equipment needed but you did a great job.

4 is colourful and composed nicely

I also like 2 with the ghosts outside the house of criminals

[Phil]

Thanks everyone

I know what you mean. The image doesn't really convey the light as I saw it at the time. I've tried several crops but nothing seemed to work.

I'm still working my way through the hundreds of shots, rest assured there will be plenty more

Great set for me, Phil. Sights I can't get to see. Big Ben is a classic, and love the London Eye one.

[Heather]

honestly cant choose between the big ben and the london eye shots, they are both cracking images

[Guest]

like the big ben shot and the london eye one is excellent. Heather and I stayed in that hotel thats lit up in red behind the eye. Had a balcony where we could almost touch the eye but we couldn't go on it as it was shut for its annual checkup
