Week 17/52 Paternoster Square, City of London

My next 'chapter' (weeks 17 - 20) in my View 52 Square Mile project is "Finance". To kick off, this is the walkway outside the London Stock Exchange in Paternoster Square, near to St Paul's Cathedral. I was drawn by the colour, symmetry and lines.

 

All comments welcome and I'm using my View 52 project to try and improve my photography so any technical advice is also appreciated.

 

I shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom and PSE10.

 

What did I learn this week? Mainly patience, waiting for a quieter moment with fewer people rushing around. I'm not usually keen in having stray people in my pictures, but I think this one lady helps the shot.

 

In 1942 the area was blitzed in World War II and redeveloped in the 1960s. Paternoster Square was again redeveloped in October 2003 with buildings by William Whitfield and several others. Among the main tenants was the newly relocated London Stock Exchange.

 

Press L to see on black.
