• Is it leaning to the right? I can't figure it out - ruler says it is okay, but gut feel says it's skewed.
  • The green lights on the Clock Tower are one of my favourite things in London.
  • I'm standing on one of these islands.
  • Maybe a bit high up the frame this one.

London Night Bus, Whitehall

Newer Older

First shot from a night series in and around Trafalgar Square. I nearly lost a hand to frostbite taking this; autumn has turned to winter. This is actually a composite - like www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5121844152/ - of my favourite takes from the left and right hand sides of the road.

There's a traffic island at the head of Whitehall where you can set up looking down towards Big Ben. As the traffic is often stopped at the lights, there are awkward moments when 10-20 cars are all parked glaring at you, thinking the camera is pointed at them alone. I was worried some MP would leap out of his mistress's Saab to threaten arrest on Terror charges. I spent most of my time therefore avoiding eye-contact, looking over my left shoulder for the buses to come.

Some of the shots are blurred from the turbulence thrown up behind the passing buses!

Hope everyone is very well and enjoying the end of the week.
