This week’s My Sunday Photo comes from nine stories up. I was taking part in a roundtable discussion about flexible working and the event was held at PwC’s Embankment offices in Central London. This was the view out of the window from that height. It would have been rude not to take the picture really, wouldn’t it?
Knowing I was going to be in London, I had planned ahead and took my camera with me. I know you all love the technical info, so here it is; ISO was set at 800, focal length 38mm and aperture was set at f5, as I was trying to focus in on the London Eye itself. I thought this would make a good black and white shot but when I set about editing the pic I thought it looked better when put through the Orton filter on Picmonkey.
The picture was shot through a glass window, hence the reflections. Personally, I like them and think they add to the image.
As per usual I have linked this post to the marvellous #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the OneDad3Girls blog. Click on this link to pay the linky a visit and check out some amazing imagery from other bloggers.

It’s a fantastic image. Would definitely be rude not to have taken it! I always struggle with taking pics through windows, you’ve done a great job.
What a great view! Must have been fascinating to see it from so high up. #mysundayphoto
I haven’t been to London in absolutely forever!! And the London Eye is such a London icon now. Great pic!
Love this! Love London too. So much history, many sights and lots to do!
Nice! It’s a slightly unfamiliar view of a familiar sight that really emphasises just how big a landmark it is set against the background of County Hall.
I think the reflections add to the story too.
I like the reflections, too. I like trying to guess what’s going on in the room you’re in.
that’s a great view from where you were
Love the view, we stayed in the hotel right next to the eye and it gave some great views
Thank you for linking up
What a really great image. I would love to go on the London eye one day 🙂
Quite eerie, with the mist over London and the reflective window shot
What a great view x
Love this photo – such an iconic sight, what a lovely view that must have been.
I think the reflection did add some character and color too! I wouldnt miss taking photos of the London eye! Its always an amazing subject to capture =) #mysundayphoto
I didn’t notice the reflections until I read your comment
Fantastic picture, it’s not often you see it from that angle. Love the atmosphere of the shot too
Hats off to your technical ability to take a shot thru a window and not get either a flashbulb photo or reflection shot!
Good technical detail

Love The London Eye and want to take the boys there again as they were too young to remember when they went on it last time. So glad they decided to keep it beyond the Millennium celebrations.
Great shot of the eye and I often have to take my photo through glass here, so I’m okay about it ;D
Have a great week
What a fantastic view, well done.
Such an iconic view, definitely a must-take photo 🙂
