Another Sunday evening in London, hotel rooms are cheaper, and I wanted to get some night shots before the clocks changed. During my last couple of visits I had intended heading into the city after bimbling around the central touristy bits but it always started raining so this time I went straight into the city and then headed back along the south bank of the Thames towards the touristy bits. Only downside of going into the city on a Sunday is that the place is closed, nice that there are not a lot of people getting into shot, but places like Lloyds of London and the Leadenhall Building are not lit up as as they would be during the working week.
Hand held and I was using walls, lampposts, bollards and other street furniture to support the camera for low shutter speed shots and yes you’ve guessed it, by 9pm the rain that wasn’t forecast arrived.

Hope HP111 doesn’t mind me posting these, rather than start another thread, but to say that photographing the Gugnunc is a challenge would be putting it mildly and don’t get me started on the white balance with all that coloured lighting. 😀

Might have a look tomorrow after my bimble around the Natural History Museum

Well the first flight of Aero Legends Spitfire Mk T IX/NH341 didn’t quite go to plan. It did go for a first flight at around 8am this morning but developed a carburettor problem which stopped it going for its ‘Official’ first flight in the afternoon. We did see some Spitfire flying though as Cliff Spink took Spitfire Mk FR.XVIIIe/SM845 for a flight with two displays over the airfield and later John Romain also went flying in SM845 with another display. I’d like to thank JR for parking SM845 on the grass directly in front of me as I was photographing under the fence. Couldn’t have planned it better. Photography conditions were far from ideal with grey cloud and a silver aeroplane, it really toppled the auto focus at times. Suffolk Police Air Operations Unit Eurocopter EC135P2+ helicopter also flew through en-route from Oxford to Wattisham. In the order taken
