Canary Wharf – long exposures without a tripod.

The changes that have been made to the London Docklands in the past 25 years have been among the most striking and most dynamic developments in the world. IMG_8571We decided to take a trip to Canary Wharf with our cameras at night. It was a  bit of a challenge for me as I didn’t have a tripod to use so all of these pics are taken using a long exposure and balancing my camera on something I found in the area like steps, tops of bollards etc

London Tube

On Friday I met up with a group of people from the professional online networking site Linkedin at the Royal Festival Hall, after spending several interesting hours with them I left to go and explore some of the sites. Whilst sitting on the tube I took a few shots. I wanted to be very subtle as I didn’t want people to cringe or to look away, I just wanted to try and capture a sense of what was going on around me at that moment in time.
