County Hall Colours

London's County Hall

Another shot from London, taken from the London Eye – just as my pod was ‘landing’ again. The County Hall sits just over the river from the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben, and was opened by King George V….

Lit up in rotating colours of light, the picture was taken with the tilt-shift 45mm lens. I used a thin band of focus on the people walking on the right hand side, and the banner saying ‘London’.

Also, noticed this site being mentioned on blogs around the place recently – made me chuckle… definitely the cheaper option to make miniature-look photos. The site basically allows you to upload a photo, and create a blur to make it look like a tilt-shift miniature. There’s a gallery on there too to see some examples.
