What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?.... William Henry Davies
Found this little church whilst wandering around London the other day. Been done many times but this is the Jubilee/Olympic makeover colour on the Millennium Bridge, and I liked the light on the 'watchers'.
Iso400, f13, 8secs, 20mm, tripod and remote.
Many thanks for your response to my rusty shot, and to Mick and Jocelia for their UAs. Also, apologies for absence for the next few days, my brother and family (3 boys, 15,13,9) are staying with us, I have a feeling we'll be quite busy

Beautiful low light shot and the watchers really add a narrative.
I expect we will be seeing some real action shots with three boys coming to stay 
Great capture Dave - love your "little church"

Nice exposer, well framed, the added people really make this a very good capture, right place right time, when it all comes together you get a shot and a very good one at that, great work Dave,
John
Stunning composition and exposure Dave.
Regards
Trev.
The title is a subtle lead-in to the candid capture - the wee dome in the distance is the first subject noticed. Super composition and exposure.

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep.
another strong night time by the river in London that makes feel like I am there
Watching the watchers, a great past-time, Dave. Considerate of them to stand there perfectly placed from your point of view. Adds to what would still be a marvellous night shot even if they weren't included. Nice little village church dome lit up in the distance as well.

Trademark attention to detail. Composition and sharpness faultless as always. I am surprised you secured the trademark star shaped reflection from the illuminations on f/13 rather than the f/22 it would normally take. Also going for ISO 400 as opposed to 100 achievable on a tri-pod. Plus you did manage to get two people to stand still for 8 secs which in itself is a triumph.

Dave, Superb work. The colors and comp are superb. The couple standing at the bridge at the right place made all the difference. Deep
Fabulous low light composition, the little church stands out well as do the watchers
What a perspective in adding 2 figures . Superb idea.
There is something that really appeals to me here Dave - this is simply stunning!
Carol
Wonderful night shot, Dave, you always come up with the goods, but this is a bit special with the watchers included.
Of course, I find far more time for "Leisure" in my retirement, and it's great.

And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began".
Dave, stop it I've run out of UA's. Another stunning shot......did you have to give them a bag of chips and a can of coke.
Fantastic detail and outstanding lighting again Dave.........think we will need to rename you King of low light.
Paul.
beautiful..the 8 second exposure has worked wonders.........very professional stuff..as expected from you Dave.
Gareth
Another excellent shot Dave. As others have mentioned the figures on the bridge make a fine shot really special.
Derek
A wonderful view of the bridge and river Thames at night
