A camera club evening out in Canary Wharf and to the Thames in London's Isle of Dogs (so called because Henry VIII kept his hounds here). Amazingly good weather especially after all the dreadful stuff we have had recently. This is a view from an upper walkway down to the river with views of the City of London in the distance.
Sorry I have been so absent from Flickr for 6 months. My problems started in June when I fell off my bicycle resulting in a very bad sprain to the hip resulting in 4 weeks on crutches. When just about over that I did my back in followed by 6 weeks of reduced mobility. After that the hip gave trouble again. Now I am hopeful of a first visit to London next Month for the first time since April.
This is a newly processed shot from 4 January. That day I made a night visit to the Thames foreshore with many shots worthy of editing. My main objective was the City at night especially from the Thames Foreshore which gives such a different viewpoint. This view is from the foreshore just east of the Millennium Bridge looking towards Southwark Bridge and The Shard beyond that. Of particular interest is the old building on the left and the remains of a wooden jetty on the shore dating probably from the late Middle Ages. The view is from the North Bank with St Paul’s out of shot behind and to the left and the Tate Modern a Modern Art Museum and former Power Station on the right and behind.. All navigable rivers in the UK belong to the Crown and were transferred to various public bodies over the years. For many centuries Londoners have gained public access to the foreshore with a number of access points all along the river with stairs some of better quality than others. There are public access stairs just east of the Millennium Bridge on both the north and south banks. Access is allowed but not digging without a permit.
It is particularly interesting to see the green line half way up the building on the left showing the wide range of the tide in London
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing using detail enhancer setting in Photomatix. Topaz clarity was used for more detail. Topaz Denoise was also used. In Photoshop various brightness adjustment layers were used with masks to get various areas just right including less bright on the bridge.

A wonderful summer sunset in London by the river Thames with a beer or two (or was it even three?). I was lucky to catch the whole summer in London (apparently consisting of 2.5 days per year). So after an evening in the photographers-famous Richmond park I took the Tube and Southeast Trains to the Thames Barrier.
Water usually provides a good mood for sunset photos.
A photo I forgot to upload during my 2019 visit. So here it is. More 2019 pics coming later (different angle shots mainly)

The River Thames at dusk: shot from a mile or so east of Gravesend and looking across to the Tilbury B power station. The power station has been demolished and a dedicated ro-ro terminal has been built in its place.

Taken from Thames Barrier Park. The Thames Barrier is a flood control structure on the River Thames at Woolwich Reach, London. Its purpose is to prevent London being flooded by an exceptionally high tide moving up from the sea, exacerbated by a storm surge.

So, not the most exciting of photos but this represents quite an achievement for me! My husband has had a PPL for over 5 years now and has been trying to get me to fly with him all that time. I finally relented today and thoroughly enjoyed it! This is a view of the Thames at Henley looking up the famous regatta course.
