A couple of nights ago I was out in London at an event organised by credit scoring company Experian. I took a slight detour on the way home so that I could go up onto Hungerford Bridge and take some images of Embankment.
I like this picture because of the colour of the London Eye and the fact Big Ben is in the background. I’m a bit annoyed the boat in the centre is quite so prominent, although I guess there’s an argument it adds to the picture.
I haven’t added technical details to my photos for a few weeks, so allow me to break this trend. The shutter speed was 1/8, aperture was set at f3.5 and ISO 1600. I didn’t use any filters and editing was minimal.
You can expect a write up of the Experian event on the blog in the next few days. It was a small gathering designed to shine a light on how credit scoring works and I was delighted to meet Jaime from The Oliver’s Madhouse blog and Sally of Who’s the mummy and Tots 100.

That is a stunning photo. London really is a beautiful place, day or night.
Great photo. I do like it when pe op el include their manual details. Really helpful for my understanding as I’m learning
Fantastic shot, John, particularly of the Eye all lit up. I know what you mean about the boat, but I think it does help lead the eye into the shot so I think it works quite well in the end. London at night is such a beautiful city.
A lovely view, I never see London at night
Amazing photo, I have only ever been to London once, but I really would love to go again =)
Dont worry about the boat, I really didnt notice it until I read the caption. The London Eye is just stunning in this shot =)

Lovely London landscape 🙂
What a view! Stunning!
One of my favourite view points in London. I love this photo because of the colours; the contrast between the bright, neon red and the mottled cloudy sky and the street lamp colours lighting up the embankment. Fabulous shot, makes me pine for the City!x

Its a brilliant pic and I scrolled back up to look at the boat. I think it does add to the picture. Although I guess you could photoshop it out if it really annoys you 🙂
Fab shot, love that part of London. 🙂 xx
