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.

Oh, for a bigger lens

I've always had a bit of an obsession with the moon. Ever since I was a kid and I read about the Apollo missions it's held a fascination for me that I've never been able to shake.

Of course, everyone and their dog has taken this picture. Doesn't stop me from liking it, though.

Another one of those nothing shots, purely opportunistic as I stepped out of the door to go to dinner with my father.

I exposed for the contrails, which led the Nikon auto white balance and saturation algorithms to do something... interesting. Cropped for better effect, but otherwise untouched.

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.
