The London Eye & County Hall

The London Eye & County Hall

This is the London Eye with the County Hall to the right (Not City Hall as I first stated), both are situated on the south bank of the River Thames, London.

This was taken just before nightfall so again plenty of ambient light still about.

Very nice also Ian, maybe it is the point of view but it seems that the building on the LHS is hanging over to the right. Like these evening shots a lot, very nice light and lots of ambience.

Well done again..

The London Eye & City Hall

Jan, I am not sure what this building is; it is just in front of the Waterloo. Also the tickets for the Eye are sold there. The London City Hall is at the Queen's Walk and not where you pointing at. It is on the other side from the Tower of London. You can also see it from the Tower Bridge, as here;

If you are still in London, could you try the Eye with long (at least a minute) exposre? I wonder, as it moves, how the circle would blur in. Also the water will look like frozen. You can PS it later on, :)

Hi Fons

Glad that you like the shot, I agree with you when you say that the building on the left looks as if it's leaning over, I think this is due to the wide angle, I know that the water is level in the shot as I checked it with a guide in PS. May be they can open the building as a new visiter attaction and call it "The leaning tower of London" ....lol

Best regards, Ian ;-)

Hi Sergey

Thanks for that information, you can tell I don't live in London or I would have been aware of that...lol, The building is actually call the "County Hall".

I wish I had seen your shots of the City Hall before I went to london as I would have loved to have photographed it as well, your shots look great as always. I was only in London for a few hours so didnt get the chance to do a longer shot of the eye, sorry but will try again when I'm there again.

Best regards, Ian ;-)
