Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

The London Eye (or Millenium Wheel as it is also called) is clearly visible in this shot of London City Center taken last weekend as my plane banked on approach to Heathrow Airport.

We arrived around 7am when it was still dark. Thankfully I had my camera in a small bag at hand because I had missed some great shots of Tuscon, Arizona because my camera had been tucked away in the overhead bins.

Sorry for the large file size. It's a noisy image, and Jpeg compression isn't that great with random noise.

	Donncha @ InPhotos.org says: Thanks everyone! It was hard enough to get good shots. I had to: 1. Use ISO 3200 (a custom function setting on the 20D) 2. -2 EV because I didn't care about exposing for the darkness 3. The aperture wide open at F/3.5. Even then it was a longish exposure on a fast moving plane with bumps and shaking. I was very glad when I saw the shot come out! If I had my camera in my lap while approaching Tuscon I might have grabbed a couple of stunning shots because of the American street grid system and the land was so flat. I didn't want to miss another chance after that! Posted 6 months ago. ( permalink )
