• Eye’m In the 70’s?

  Had a bit of fun in lightroom with this one to make it different from my other shots from the day. Tried to make it look like a shot from a film(analog)-film(movie)… From the 70’s, as if it was recreated in the 90’s… (hence the blue tint rather than reddish purple).

• Shadows Of London.

  Lots of darkness here. It was quite a bright day in fact. I put a radial filter on the kids in the corner to bring them kit against the shadows.

• Light to Dark.

  A Chinese restaurant I passed everyday on the way to work. I decided to take a photo this particular night because of the pattern in light on the top windows. The two in the shadows on the left have their lights on whereas the window with the streetlight shining on it has the lights off.…

• Fountains.

  One of the rare times that I use clarity in Lightroom. Used to emphasise the cool weather and bring out the detail of the Tower Bridge which otherwise wouldn’t be the focus of the image.

• HDR (#33271)

  This isn’t true HDR, instead of taking multiple shots at different exposures I opted for the easy method of bringing out the shadows and lowering highlights to make the photo a little flatter but leaving as much of it well-exposed as possible.

• London in Disguise.

  Tried to take a mixture of photos during this trip. Less of the landmarks and more of the interesting streets like this underpass alley by the bank on the way to tower Bridge. Tried to emphasise the tall buildings and narrow alley by cropping it to 9:16 – the portrait of standard wide-screen.

• Other side.

  Hard to get a shot in London without a thousand tourists being in the way. Doing it across the Thames seems like a good alternative.

• Cinematic.

  Bored of black and white cityscapes decided to edit this with some split toning, trying to make it look cold like the scenes from Sherlock Holmes films. The bird helped to add some drama.

• Sea of Words.

  Not the most intriguing processing but I thought that clean and simple would complement the shot. This is the south bank of Thames of course.
