Shell Beach, late afternoon. HDR image taken with Nikon D300 , 17-35mm 2.8 lens. Processed using Photomatrix HDR software. 5 image bracketed at 1 stop increments.
The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague), a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building").
The Shell Centre, in London, is one of the two central offices, and serves as the registered address, of oil major Shell (the other, its main headquarters, is in The Hague). It is located on Belvedere Road in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is a prominent feature on the South Bank of the River Thames near County Hall, and now forms the backdrop to the London Eye.
The original Shell Centre comprised the tower building and three now demolished adjoining nine storey wings (collectively formerly known as the "Upstream Building"). The original development also included a separate building known as the "Downstream Building", which was separated from the Upstream Building by the railway viaduct between Charing Cross and Waterloo East.
The Downstream Building was disposed of by Shell in the 1990s, and is now a block of residential apartments known as the White House, and has been heightened by a storey.
The picture was taken with a wide angle lens. Also to give an original angle, I dug a hole in the sand and shoot from there.

Shell Cottage under construction at Freshwater West, as part of the set for the new Harry Potter film.
And for completeness, a close-up of the most recognisable landmark in my home town, the Sydney Opera House. It's difficult getting a shot like this without tourists all over the place. I was lucky to get a gap big enough to take this.
The shells are so white, it's impossible to capture them gleaming in the sun without underexposing everything else.

A real low point on this day....but I still took a daily pic, even though it was getting late.

Often derided as one of London's ugliest buildings, but I like it.
Set for redevelopment although the tower will stay. A great video of the building and its facilities (including a swimming pool - is that still there?) on youtube here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zUQD1p9bXY
