Graham Binns posted a photo:

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 38

Taken as Big Ben was striking midnight to ring in the 8th of February. Of course, the bastards turned off the floodlights just as the chimes began, leading to this image being a damn sight darker than I would have liked. I just like the way the leftmost clock face stands out of the darkness.

This was taken from the far side of Westminster bridge with a 200mm lens and steady hands.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
