2 Hour Street Photoshoot - Downtown London

harjtt

Finally, yesterday it didn;t rain so I dashed out for a couple of hours to shoot some interesting parts of downtown London. Took just over 100 shots of basically a bit of everything. Would like your comments on the days shots. Taken with Oly E1 +14-54ZD, handheld at ISO100-400 and RAW. Converted to jpeg using Lightroom.

Here's the first shot of the day:



2. The Big Chill, Bricklane. Just finished having some tea and this place just rocks.



3. Alleyway:





4. Bridge Crossing - to the southside




5. Last shot fo the night -f5.6@ 1/5 sec, ISO 400 Handheld.



The rest of the shots start here:

Good atmospheric shot, Harj. And answering a question in your gallery: I prefer the B&W of the first to the color one.

nice shots!

The funky lines are 'slow down' lines. I've seen these in other countries as well. They tell drivers to slow down (in this case because of a pedestrian cross walk). Especially for cars that about to pass another car and don't notice there is a crosswalk up ahead. These lines will warn that passing car.
