Need to go to the loo!
Follow me on:
-----------------
The day we first ventured out in London, turned out to be the Remembrance Day when all the veterans from all the wars are celebrated by everyone. The Royal Family and the political dignitaries come near the parliament building and all of the thousands of people on the streets maintain 2 minutes of silence in the honour of the fallen.
My bladder however forgot to read the memo and I really had to go! We jumped into this cafe on the roadside to use the facilities. As my luck would have it, the manager decided that I wouldn't be permitted to use the facilities unless I bought something! Grrr...I guess a lot of poeple had the same idea and there was a huge line of people wanting to buy something small like a cup of coffee (the price of which was jacked up to 5 pounds just for this very occassion!). Anyways, while I was standing around, trying to forget the urgency of the situation, I took this shot.
I also took another shot facing the big ben, but that'll come in a couple of days (so far that's my favourite-est shot and can't wait to show to you guys!)

As always, comments/notes/crituques and favourites (just hit F ) will be very much appreciated!

Shot details:
3 hand held subsequent shots using: Canon 7D; Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
Post processing:
1. Lightroom for initial fixups,
2. Merged in Photomatix
3. Post processed (colors, sharpness and so forth) in Nik Color Efex and tinkered around a little in Topaz Labs
4. Finally did a little more processing (vignetting and temp and so forth again in Lightroom)
