An evening in London

[DanFreemanPhoto]

So here's my shots from our little meet.

A few more on my site: http://www.danfreemanphotography.com/blog/2012/02/an-evening-in-london/

T'was a good evening chaps, although it was bloody cold....probably the reason I didn't take quite as many photos as I thought I would.

Until next time......

 

[EllD90]

Amazing!

 

[PaulClioSport]

Really like the one with the big ben in it! Other ones look great to as usual!

Dan what tripod do you use when walking around and how do you carry it with you? I have a Manfrotto 055XPROB with 496RC2 ballhead and as i do have a backpack where i can hang it on too, it is quite heavy

 

[Revels]

The one of Big Ben is superb!

 

[Brazo]

Awesome mate

Second ones a stunner as is the light trails shot mate, very nice work!!

I might be inclined to remove the lens flare from the sky part of it though, should be easily clonable. I have gone back over my tower bridge trails shot and spent an hour in PS yesterday cloning out the flare and 'light mess' before sticking it on 500px.

I 'kin love London for photos, its especially stunning at night!

 

[Matt_90]

Show Off! ...Awesome shots Dan! I am just sat making final changes to mine at the minute, will post them shortly.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I wanted to do a lot more light trail shots, but after taking that shot I realised that I should have left to catch the train 15mins ago! So I legged it in hope.....

Next time....

Looking forward to seeing your shots Matt

My shots from our meet yesterday -

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nice Matt! Really crisp and sharp photos.

Love the last one, if only you caught a double decker going though, that would have made for a nice effect.

Hope you enjoyed the evening, well...as much as we could have done in that cold lol!

 

[Matt_90]

Cheers Dan!

I really enjoyed it, I might head up there again in the next few weeks and have another go, I am going to invest in some filters before I go next time so I can get some shots before its dark.

 

[AK]

Good photos guys.

 

[TimR26]

Great photos

 

[PaulClioSport]

Lovely shots Matt!

 

[danh90]

amazing photos!!

 

[Tommy_C]

Stunning. I wish I could take photos like this, really must try harder and practice!!!

 

[dunganick]

Awesome shots guys. Editing these i am certainly regretting the amount of time spent on ISO 50! Got to say i did really enjoy the outing although i think there is vast room for improvement on my part (and the weathers!). I may well have to give this another go once it warms up a touch.

Like Matt i think i will invest in some filters. They will also be useful for my motorsports photography - so i can maintain I'm not turning into a landscape photographer that way

1. Favourite of the evening i think.

2.

3. I can't settle on the editing for this one or decide if the people are too distracting...

4.

5. I'm really undecided about this shot. I wish i had shot it much wider like Matt.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

That must be the equivalent of your marmite shot lol! I do like it though, looks very different to any 'normal' shots.

Liking the ones of the Shard too.

Good to hear you had a good time, see there is more to photography than just motor sports ;-)

 

[dannycivic02]

Really nice pics guys really interested in the camera setting you were using for some of these shots, im yet to try out long exposure times for light trails etc I love the one of big ben.

 

[Brazo]

Like #2 Nick

 

[Will.]

Loving that one of Big ben!

Great shots guys

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

some cracking shots there guys. I need to get down to London soon to give it a try.

 

[PaulClioSport]

Dan pleace have an eye on my first reply in this thread

 

[Scott™]

Great photos guys Looks epic.

 

[Adamm.]

All of these shots looks awesome lads. Wish I could take some that good.

 

[Tonys]

[Leeshez]

Oh wow. They are amazing .

 

[Scott™]

Any more for any more?

Sorry Paul , missed this.

I have a manfrotto 055CLB and 141RC head. It's pretty heavy, but compared to my camera and lens, it's damn light! The whole thing is pretty damn heavy but there's no alternative really.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thumbs up as always.

 

[Brazo]

Any more for any more?

LOL I wasn't there but heres another of my London shots from the week before

Don't Look Back In Anger by Brazo76, on Flickr

 

[Matt_90]

Nice shot Brazo! I have got a few more to pop up but I am undecided on them! I will put them up this afternoon.

Dan what filter holder/system are you using I am shopping about and its getting confusing, I have found a 9 stop screw in ND which I might give a go if the systems are to expensive.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Matt - I use the Lee system.

 

[Chri5]

Great pics guys, really stunning colours

 

[ch!ppen]

Some really nice shots

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Great shots! would love to come along to the next lil meet.

 

[Wick]

All three sets brilliant in there own way!

Ok mine is around same size and weight, i guess if you want a sturdy tripod you need the weight to make it sturdy lol

 

[James105]

Some fantastic photo's! I must get to London again to do some photo's, only ever been once to shoot in Docklands.

 

[Matt_90]

Another one of mine -
