Okay, normal service resumed. Albert Bridge again, at night, downstream on the North side. 'Pearly King' because it looks bedecked with pearls (yes, I know, Albert was only a Consort - poetic licence Smile)


Iso200, f9, 0.3secs, 15mm, tripod and remote release.

I needed to try out the previous floral shots as we're off to Holland/Belgium early tomorrow for the Floriade, a flower festival held every 10 years in Holland. I'm not sure what to expect but if the flowers don't work out I can always go and find some mountain landscapes. Anyway, I shall be with you today but then going awol for a few days, so I shall catch up with you all next week,

hasta luego,

Dave

Looks like it belongs in a fairground! Expert exposure control. Great eye for a visually attractive subject. I like the angle. My only offer of constructive criticism would be I'm unconvinced by the necessity for the dead space at the bottom of the image. I wonder if a square crop would make a more dynamic (not a usual word for square frame, I know) comp?

Have a great time trekking the Dutch mountains Wink
