Chinatown!Taken with the Tamron 28-75. The pillars/arches/whateveryoucallthem of Chinatown, just north of Leicester Square. The white-balance was completely off when I took it, so I've removed all the reds instead of just desaturating everything.

Chinatown CrowdsTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Even late at night, Chinatown was busy with people wandering to and fro.

Cheeky ShotTaken with the Tamron 28-75 and the built-in flash. A quick candid shot of Chiqui74 as she set up a shot of the Chinatown pillars.

Wheel Of LightsTaken with the Tamron 28-75. The London Eye wheel on the south bank of the Thames, north of Waterloo, which was closed for the night but still lit up.

Night Light AvenueTaken with the Tamron 28-75. The walkway before the London Eye was lit up with these blue lights in the trees, and the pink/purple floods beneath, which looks funky :o)
IMG_2745a.JPG
Blue Light AvenueTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Same shot as before, but with all bar blue desaturated, to bring out the lights and emphasise the lines.
IMG_2750.JPG
Exposure GhostsTaken with the Tamron 28-75. 30 seconds exposures meant one or two frames had people moving around in, with this being the best example.

Light BoxTaken with the Tamron 28-75. The base cables of the London Eye main support, with the reflection of the blue-lit trees behind us on the glass surrounding them.
IMG_2758.JPG
SpokesTaken with the Tamron 28-75. The support system of the London Eye, taken moments before the security guards told us we weren't allowed to shoot using tripods. Weird stance, since we could take the same shots during the day hand-held, but hey, it's easiest not to argue.

Houses of Parliament (Long)Taken with the Tamron 28-75. A long exposure shot across the river towards the houses of parliament, with nice soft water...
IMG_2760.JPG
Houses Of Parliament (Short)Taken with the Tamron 28-75. Same place as before, but with a shorter exposure to get the details of the riverwater more.
IMG_2762.JPG
Big Ben ClocktowerTaken with the Tamron 28-75. People often call this tower Big Ben, when it's in fact the bell inside that's Big Ben. Ah well :o)
IMG_2764.JPG
MidnightTaken with the Tamron 28-75. I must admit, I've never been anywhere near the Big Ben clocktower near the hour, so I've not had a chance to shoot a shot like this before while the bongs were going out.

Wheel & WaterTaken with the Tamron 28-75. After crossing Westminster bridge, looking back towards the London Eye and the other buildings on the south bank.1 comments

Final ShotTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Chiqui74 taking her shot of the Big Ben clocktower, the last shot of the night. I don't know how, but I managed to get the colourbalance etc to nearly daylight tones with this one...
