Composed Overlooking Westminster Bridge

Composed Overlooking Westminster Bridge
For some reason, I have not brought my most serious camera gear in all my visits to London over the years. When I finally made the effort to bring the good stuff (including a tripod, a neutral density filter and a remote shutter release), the Big Ben was all shrouded up for conservation work! Nevertheless, I had an enjoyable walk along the River Thames capturing long exposure pictures of this iconic London city landmark. Credit to William Wordsworth for the title of this shot :p

Twilight Upon The Webb Bridge

Twilight Upon The Webb Bridge
It was well past 9 PM when I took this shot of the Webb bridge after a late dinner in Melbourne. The twilight hour along with the clear skies that evening gave a brilliant blue cast to the sky. I was not planning to do night scene photography with long exposures on this trip and did not bring along a tripod. Luckily, resting my camera on my bag placed on the ground was all that I needed to get the final shot.
