Please view on black please!

 

Another shot against a bridge (one of my favourite viewpoints, as you know. Myself and vulture labs were out on a photowalk and decided to get the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster) at sunset. We had taken a load of shots straight on during the main sunset, then I decided I wanted to change position.

 

There are some steps that lead down from underneath the bridge into the Thames. Luckily it was low tide, so I climbed over the gate and wall, had my stuff passed down to me, and walked down the mossy steps to almost the level of the water. I reeled off a few HDR shots, but settled on this single long exposure. I quickly climbed back out again, in case the river police came and had a word with me.

 

Even though this was a lovely sunset, I decided I preferred this shot in monochrome. To be honest, nearly every shot I've processed this weekend has ended up in black and white and/or monochrome, so expect a lot of that this week! (I hope you won't mind). I really love the figure on the bridge in the foreground.

 

Please view this large on black, as it really does make a big difference! Does this image have the right feel to add to my Espionage! set?. You tell me.
