Well it's been a while, I haven't actually picked up the camera this year due to a total lack of time & inspiration. Well after I kicked myself I went out.

It was 3°C and I managed to get 80 shots out before the batteries gave up & I left the others on the charger. D'OH!! Up the upside hit rate was good, I got about 30 or so that I quite like. More are here http://photobucket.com/albums/v299/Adrian_K/London/?sc=1&multi=1.

Here's a few...

There was a photo exhibition, "after the wave" about the Tsumnai - fine photos but not many viewers - it was outdoors & cold.

The ubiquitous London cab.

    Adrian, I'm not keen on the diffused glow effect, that's just me thoughne_nau.gif but I do like the shot of the taxis! Maybe a tad more contrast would help improve it !

    Gubbs,
    I know what you mean about the glowing ones, small doses for a change but I'm not going to make a habit of it.

    Re: Taxis - I already thought it was quite dark, espeacially bottom left hand corner. Maybe it's my monitor.

    Andy, being a Noo Yoiker, you're probably used to wind chill, so you would have felt right at home. My cam was having 'issue' tho'.

    Crispin, I was on Hungerford bridge looking west, so the river was on the left.
    Yes! I went north of the river. rolleyes1.gif Well you have experience somethings at least once.

    I like that shot of the taxis very much.
    I must go down there and find that line of cabs one day - Waterloo is my local. :D
