Taken, as you might be able to tell, next to the London Eye at night.

A lucky shot, really; I didn't have the lens for this to work the way I would have liked, but it's not bad.

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.

There are so many reasons that I should dislike this shot: It's blurred due to camera shake, it's noisy due to a high ISO setting, etc., and yet I somehow can't bring myself to.

I took this standing on the south bank of the Thames, a few yards away from the London Eye. These two were completely wrapped up in each other and nothing around them distracted them. It was really rather sweet. I only took the one shot of them though; doing so made me feel rather guilty.

Taken during the morning rush hour as the sun was catching the buildings on the east bank of the Thames at Vauxhall Bridge.

I need to get a Waterloo Sunset to go with this, of course...

The arched main doorway of St James the Less church, Westminster.

This is a nice shot, but it's a little too bright (which is why it's not in colour; shooting in monochrome allowed me to balance out the light better).

The church itself is a weird one; a big red brick tower in the middle of blocks of office buildings. Still, I like interesting things, which is why I took the photo. Also, I like the fact that it's called St James the Less.

One of them days: unexpected happenstance, hard work, confusion and phone calls. Throw in some photography and it'll be a good one. 2008-07-24 16:58:22 (More)
