Shard London Bridge

Hi there! First, please press L for the bigger blackgrounded version :)

I really suffered to shoot this picture from my last week stay in London.

-4ºC, windy on a bridge with the freezing Thames underneath!

I took 6 RAWs that I blended together manually to have this soft HDR rendering.

A quite long exposure (30sec) to get the nice water reflexions and a still water texture (I could then maximize the reflections) and several underexposed shots to get all the details on the buildings. The tricky part of this shot is that I was taking the pictures from the Millenium Bridge, which very light, narrow and moving while people where passing by! I got a shots slightly blurry because of this even with my backpack serving as a counterweight. I had to stay for a very long time on this freezing bridge!! I hope you like it!

Please leave me some comments!! Thank you!! :)
