Yeah, I try to avoid taking pictures of it from obvious angles as much as I can. Those are all from around St Katharine Docks, which is in a very central part of it (near Aldgate/The City/Tower Bridge), and it's a really beautiful and peaceful place.

I never took this photo, but I love its general sense of 'anywhereness':

That's nice. Near Battersea Park.

Yes. I think people can spend too much time looking for the uniqueness of a place, which generally comes at the expense of representing its actual reality - which is usually a quite generic one. I love the fact that, once you take away the landmarks, London could just as easily be Antwerp.

tp, you should try some HDR experiments, I bet you could have nice results with your camera.
very nice long exposures up there!

i have played around with hdr, but i'm not a huge fan, it some what lessens then experience of taking photos for me. i'd like to learn my camera inside out and get better with my composition more than anything. hdr can be a bit of fun though.

what sort of filtering? ones that emulate camera type filters or fun ones to screw with the image alot???

i use a way old version of photoshop. ps7. and i don't play with it much mostly use it for resizing, unless i'm doing a poster or something for friends. i pretty much just use the standard plugs that are in ps7.

I used to have that, and played with it a bit, but now I can't find the cd anywhere. Any software that allows the colours to be layered in nice chromatic tones will do. Thanks, and thank you too nicfit.

I got lost when I took this.
