A Cold Friday Walk in London

[Bear]

I joined an organised photowalk in London on Friday; cold and overcast but fun none the less. Had some fun and met some really nice people.


 
Looking back at St Pauls from Waterloo bridge, the sun cut through the cloud and lit the dome beautifully.

You made the very best of a dull day Barry, and that No 3 shot with the HDR work is stunning. I also love how St Pauls is peeping up from behind the trees. Well done here mate. I enjoyed viewing these. PAUL

What a fantastic city to take a photo walk in, have to say I love your images. I feel the second one has so much atmosphere in it but they all are cracking in their own rights. Well done on some super images of our awesome capital. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Paul, kgb224, and David for your kind words. No 2 is my favourite; I considered converting to grey scale but decided that it "felt right" left as it is.

The colours for number 3 came from using the Tungsten setting when taking the images, which really brought out the blue, when really it was quite a grey and oppressive evening.

Great shots, my favourite would have to be the second, you managed to get so many landmarks in and the light through the clouds is spectacular.
Personally I never get tired of walking through London, I'm looking forward to spending a few days there in January, I'd love to get some shots half as good as these!
