London Eye

[allie5]

My son is a big fan of the London Eye, we go up a lot but every time we have been unlucky with the weather - skies have always been that flat white / grey that always blows out. Fared slightly better this time as the sunset was quite breathtaking.

Only armed with my 50mm (shame as a wideangle view would have been great) but here are a few.

Just as we were getting on the Eye, the sky started turning pink. You can see the reflection in the pod here...

Nice set there #3+5 stand out for me the sky sets them off from the rest in my opinion (and thats not worth much):lol:

Saturdays sunset down here on the south coast was very much that colour. I've never seen a sunset like it. Quite simply breathtaking.

They are a lot better than what I managed to get a couple of weeks back due to the weather problem you mentioned... and i'd specially booked a sunset "flight" too

Thank you :thumbs:

The sky really was that colour. Ive tweaked the saturation a tad, but only a tad (more to bring out the lights on the parliment buildings rather than the sky). It was one of the nicest sunsets Ive seen for awhile - late Jan into Feb is great for red / pink skies in the south (might be up north too, but I dont live there and cant comment :D ).

Appreciate the comments anyway, cheers.

Great Sky!

This is a nice set, I like number 5 the most, the lighting and the sky are great.

Are you sure you only had your 50mm? 3, 4 & 5 are really good!

Nice set and what a sunset! 3,4 & 5 for me. No lights behind the clock in Big Ben? (yes I know it's the name of the bell...)
