London Town

[ntrolls]

What a nice surprise, this is the corner around where I study (KCL). I think I also like the middle one.

Will, I also have a fascination with cranes, at leas a subconscious one, since I do have loads of photos of them. Will try and pick some to post. Like the DP1 crane photo a lot.

Here is one of the photos I posted at the beginning of the thread. Admittedly the PP was c**p, way too dark. Here are two more versions (the first is the original one)? Any preference or suggestions?

Here's one I took at Canary Wharf yesterday after mild cropping.

Really. I did my phd at King's. What do you study, if you don't mind me asking?

The blue in your photo is very characteristic of London. Must say Canary Wharf is one area of London I don't know at all. Been there maybe twice.

Here's a photo of a mega crane near Harrods (sorry, not small sensor).

Some of the modern architecture near Chiswick.

PhD in computer science - except I seriously lack the mathematical rigour that is necessary to become a scientist, so I prefer the "software engineer" hat

Here's one from Somerset House.

I don't know what it is, but this picture never looks level no matter how I rotate it...

i was down in London at the weekend for the League Two play off final at Wembley.

Great images, I specially like the Wembley arch picture.

A construction crane in Aldwych. B&W from GX-100 with texture-mapping.

I always find it mildly surprising that London's skyline contains so many construction cranes. I used to think this was a very old city, not changing much. That was a wrong impression!

Definitely!

Love that image and what you've done with it ntrolls.

 

[ntrolls]

Thanks, Will!

Sizifo, were you standing on top of something when you took the Harrods mega-crane shot? The perspective is very interesting (as well as the tones of colours).

View looking from the new london assembly building (the one affectionately known as Kens T-------e, but perhaps now it will have to be Boris' b-----k?)

Fantastic! I just came back from "The Scoop" Is the building open to the public? This is such a nice view!

 

[Will]

Not sure if the public can get to the balcony I took the picture from. I was there for the Urban Design Compendium launch, so I could wander around looking at the views.
Funny coincidence that you were there the day I posted the image though.

Here's a couple of "classics" of mine from Southwark:





Leica D-Lux 3, ISO 800, PP in Lightzone.

 

[Will]

They are great Maggie. Looks like the technique is to do a Judo throw on a girl and then she is won over lol

 

[pollobarca]

Nice pictures, first one like a lot. Typical drunk english people. I think the
Wright Bros Oyster and Porter house had something to do with the dancing.

Either that or the Wine Wharf! (across the street from the "Bankside" sign) :bugeyes:

London Assembly Building again, this time looking down the inside.
