Goodbye UK, Goodnight London

After a long break from blogging, I am going to give it another go. This post is a little overdue - I am no longer a Dutchman in London. But here's an 'announcement' anyway.

Goodbye UK!


And Goodnight London

Setting

Sunset across the Thames close to Hammersmith Bridge.

Note the plane in the top right. This is in the approach to Heathrow...

Putney

A longish exposure (6s) with the camera balancing on a chapstick lying on the parapet. (Who needs a tripod:-)

Note the blue streak in the sky.

Thames from Putney Bridge

Took a walk on the Thames again tonight, and witnessed another gorgeous sunset.

Basically, straight out of the camera. It's a longish exposure: note the plane in the top right.

Freeze!

Normally not one for heavy processing, I reprocessed this one, taken last summer. Quite heavily, for my standards, but I like the result.

This was during the Street Art exhibit at the Tate Modern. The artist is JR.

London's Beautiful Tonight

Last night's sunset on the Thames.

This is real; I slightly nudged up contrast and saturation, and set the white balance to "cloudy".

Cross Traffic

Sunset at Hammersmith Bridge, with some little boats just passing below.

Golden hour! Larger view at Flickr or Zooomr.
