This is well know shot of Parliament at night, photographed thousand of times. But never before except in my shot at that moment has there been such a light seen.

What is it?

If you get it, a new Porsche 911 awaits you (a toy Porsche 911)

So..... What is that light?

THE ANSWER: THE STRANGE LIGHT IS IN REALITY A FOLD IN THE NEGATIVE. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THERE UNTIL I SAW THE PHOTO AND LOOKED. I LIKED IT SO I KEPT IT.

    Yet another MP has been caught fiddling their expenses, is trying to do a runner... and the 'copper chopper' is throwing a bit of light on the scene whilst their ground based colleagues try to feel the offender's collar ...

    (btw, prefer a Nissan Micra (mk1) ... last for ages and far more practical :) )

    Can we turn this thread, and the picture, into something like that "Please photoshop me touching the top of the Eiffel Tower with my finger" news item from a week ago?

    You've got it!

    (No, that's not what the light is, but I like the societal comment!)

    I never use Photoshop and did nothing of any post-processing that I recall, and I would recall creating the light after the shot was developed.

    Now that's a hint, it's film photography. So the question would be, what can film photography more easily pick up - or perhaps only pick up - that makes what you are seeing very visible as opposed maybe - to just a hint of in other types of photography.

    Now THAT would be a funny explanation.

    Unfortunately it isn't it.

    I'll give a day more and then post the answer - say Saturday I'll post the answer. C'mom, it's staring you in the face, what makes you think it isn't real!
