London is one of my favourite cities. I love it so much, I visit from Germany at least 4 times a year. So, here are some of my photos from my London gallery. The full gallery can be found here: http://jcp.smugmug.com/Urban%20Scenics/280731

At the center of London can be found Trafalgar Square. Always full of life, it is particularly nice just as the sun sets.

The view from Waterloo Bridge with the London Eye and Thames. It is certainly worth the wait for a trip on the Eye.

Admiralty Arch and the Mall

The Tate Modern and Millenium Bridge.

London is packed with art galleries and museums, here is the National Gallery.

And finally another photo of the London Eye

And of cause, the London Underground. The largest and oldest metro network in the world.

Both photos from Baker Street Station.

    Sweet, the Admiralty Arch and the first Underground shot are real eye grabbers.

    I really enjoyed your photos and the perspective is unique.
    I love London too, just wish it wasn't so expensive.

    Very nice photos. London is a pretty cool place-- as long as you avoid the mashed peas and kidney pie :D!

    Great pics, especially the underground shots with one person beneath each lit alcove clap.gif

    I live just down the road from central London, but hate the place (too busy, too many people, too little space etc) but you've inspired me to take a wander up there with a different eye.

    Nice shots
    And a good gallery, I lived in London for many years as a child, the culture and history are unmatched anywhere else in the world. ( a little expensive though:D ). Thanks for sharing

    What a wonderful journey, your images are stunning clap.gif
    I love the soft light you have capture in that very first image thumb.gif
    The lighting in all those shots looks great :D
    Your second shot almost looks like a painting.
    The B&W's look great too, especially the two train station shots thumb.gif
    I remember it was 1983 when I was there, and Big Ben was covered in scaffolding and being sand blasted at the time.

    You've captures some beautiful images on this Journey,
    glad you had a wonderful time, and thank you for sharing .... Skippy

    Thanks to all for your kind comments! I woke up this morning thinking it was about time I popped over there again. Just a pity I am too busy for the next couple of months.

    Oh well, instead I'll pop up a couple more photos.

    Back to the Thames.

    i agree, the 2nd shot does look like a painting? would that be an HDR shot?

    Hi p27rpy, no, it's not HDR. But I did use Photomatix on a single RAW image to increase the dynamic range of the photo. I then brought it into photoshop and used curves with some dodging and burning until I got the result shown. I do use HDR in other situations though, and you can see my HDR gallery here: http://jcp.smugmug.com/gallery/2407372
