This is another picture from the archives… taken from a recent central London visit. I managed to time my London Eye visit just about right, so that I got dusk and sunset as we were rotating around the skyline…
This picture was taken on the way down as the lights on the parliament buildings and the clock tower with Big Ben started to come on. I used a tilt-shift 45mm lens to narrow the focus to the bridge area, in particular the bus crossing the bridge with its lights on.
Blew up the picture in Lightroom, and noticed that it was a ‘Twilight’ advert on the side of the bus – I guess that figures as London was under the full effects of Twilight-fever when I was there.
There’s another similar picture that I took of the same area, from higher up. In the end I chose this one to post because I like the separation of the different towers from the background. From Big Ben itself, to the darker shapes of Westminster Abbey to the right.
