London Calling
London is a city that I have always wanted to visit and we traveled there last week for my son’s school vacation. I knew that I wanted to photograph the Elizabeth Tower (mostly known as Big Ben) at night and because the Thames River and clouds were rapidly moving I wanted to shoot it as a long exposure. I ended up using a 20 second shutter speed which smoothed out the moving water and clouds, created starbursts to the street lights on the bridge and quieted everything in the composition down.
