Palace of Westminster

Westminster Storm
Westminster Bridge to Big Ben

As an interlude between all the New Zealand Photos I want to show another photo from that incredible evening in London back in August. To see such awesome light at such a great location was really something special. I felt very lucky :-)

Processing on this one was my usual Exposure Blending, then some dreamy photo techniques and to finish it some contrast and color work. I explain all of this in my video tutorials, which I've recorded over the last years.

cheers

Last monday I was in photographers heaven for a few minutes. London before sunset with a storm front rolling in from the east presented the best photo opportunity in this year so far and I was in exactly the right place.

I have an Article on my blog where I provide some behind the scenes info to how this photo came to be, if you are interested.

Westminster Glow
Westminster Bridge to Big Ben
by Michael

The continuation of my London series with photo number three taken during that dramatic sunset at Westminster. Right after taking this bracketed exposure I ran down to find cover under the bridge, where I took the photo I posted last week. I have one more photo, which I might show you sometime. I was so lucky that evening. 4 big shots out of 20 Minutes of shooting is quite a good rate for me.

All Dressed Up And Nowhere To Go
Westminster Bridge to Big Ben
by Alan Taylor

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.

The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower; it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom. Wikipedia

This shot was taken just after the renovation works had started.

Silence
Westminster Bridge to Big Ben
by Pete Rowbottom

I was really lucky to get anything here today as it was pouring down and I got a royal soaking before I got here, I decided to visit a spot undercover right next to here to try and wait it out, with a few mins amazingly it did stop and allowed to to not only get a nice long exposure with the low light but also manage to get all the storm clouds, with 30 minutes it had completely cleared and was sunny for the rest of the day, well worth a soaking, to think I almost gave up for the day.... Also pleased with the colour version, but I'm really feeling the black and white vibe at the moment, especially for stuff like this, just feels a lot more emotive to me when you remove the distraction of colour.

Westminster
Westminster Bridge to Big Ben

Another shot from a rainy, overcast, and gloomy day in the capital, still it provided some really nice contrasting light on the buildings and bridge, much more feel to the place when it's like this opposed to on sunnier days, if you can put up with the rain there's always something to grab when it breaks.
