Thames barrier : open.

Thames barrier : open.

Here is another view of the Thames barrier in which it's possible to see the towers of Canary Wharf in the background. There is some work going on around which prevented me to move a couple of steps on the left in order to get the towers in between the barrier ...

The Thames barrier are located downstream on the river to protect London from being flooded after a record high tide or a rise of the sea nearby.

About the photo : it's an HDR image made from 3 differently exposed photos (-2,0, +2 ev), tone-mapped with Photomatix and fine tuned with Lightroom. This late stage took me ages as I wanted to mimize the "ugly HDR" look visible on the early versions even on the thumbnail size !

Thanks for reading this.
Enjoy your week-end.

If you look upstream it's what the Thames barrier looks like. It was interesting to see that one of them was closed.

Another week-end , another walk in London. This time it was a bit different as i walked with a friend along the Thames river from the Thames barrier to London Bridge.

Only in London.

Only in London.

London, the only place on Earth where you can see double-deck red bus, back cab and the St Mary Axe building aka the Gherkin !

Once again it's an HDR image obtained by tone-mapping 3 differently exposed images (-2,0, +2) ev using photomatix then Lightroom.

this is london !

this is london !

This image was taken on a Sunday afternoon during a walk around the city and brick lane in Central London..

This image can almost illustrate the transport in London as it's possible to see bikes, car, a black cab and a modern double-deck red bus ! Unfortunately, a piece of street furniture, a bin or a post, forced me to cut the bike in the front in order to get a cleaner image ... oh well.
