Tower Bridge at dusk*

Tower Bridge, London, UK

This was pretty much my 1st attempt at any long exposure photography. The picture was taken from the South side of the Thames in front of Butlers Wharf - basically opposite the Tower Thistle Hotel. It was taken at exactly 8.52pm and I was lucky as the weather had been a bit hit and miss all day in London - classic April showers - but cleared up perfectly at just the right time!

The only post production was cloning out some pesky dust spots!

For what's said to be a cheapo nasty lens I was really pleased with the results - having said that I'm hoping to buy some 'L' glass sometime soon!

This brings back memories, I proposed to my wife right in the middle of the bridge.
Nice shot Mike. Just a pity the sky didn't have a little more cloud detail.
Teapot.
