[nickjohnwatson]

agreed, these are really good. i like the first one from the shard and also number 2.

 

[fuzzyfelt30]

I really like the last shot of Moor Place and also the St Pauls shot from The Shard!

Stunning set and a great time of day to capture!

Did you use a tripod at 1/6?

 

[RaphaelSamad]

Very impressive shots - I would be very happy with any one of them.

 

[Paul Holtom]

Thanks for the positive comments, no tripod as you are not allowed them in the Shard.

What a lovely set mate, makes me want to head off to London right now.
could i ask what settings the moor place photo were shot at, and also did you have any problems with reflexions off the class while shooting from the shard, I did but that was day light shooting

Thanks
Dave

Your pics made me want to go to the shard...

£25 a ticket.. is this the cheapest I'm going to get them?

 

[Paul Holtom]

Yes £25 is the cheapest, its another £5 if you just turn up.

Its an amazing view, and whilst challenging to get good images due to the reflections it is possible.

 

[Speedy136]

Some of the best London shots I have seen for quite a while.

 

[Peter_Hartland]

Great shots of London. Glad I went to your FlickR links as the images are even more impressive

Thanks. I think ill book my tickets then! Any tips to overcome the reflections.?

I would presume its done with ND filter.

 

[Paul Holtom]

If you were going to use any filter then I would have said a polarizer rather than an ND, but to be honest didn't use anything was just careful.

Great set, the British Museum roof is a lovely composition, I was there a couple of weeks ago and didn't see that shot!

 

[Jjm]

Wow great set

 

[Bullysrus]

Great set

Depends who you know

Nice set, though I swear you've been following me on my daily commute

 

[kev2010]

Thats a very impressive set.

 

[djnick1985]

Lovely set,

 

[macs]

These are all very nice. You have made the most of your time in London with a very varied and interesting set.

 

[jeff127]

Good set Paul. Number 3 for me: wonderful framing and light, especially on St. Pauls and a new angle - not for much longer I would imagine though!

Jeff.

 

[Grajindo]

Superb set. Think am going to head down to London soon!

 

[Bretagnez]

Very nice set overall, however 2 is definitely my pick! Well thought out and composed.

 

[messinghamp]

A very nice set, much better than anything I have done in London.

 

[Matt]

a very VERY good set of photos, I dont comment on many photos these days but this set is great, and makes me want to go and find what I did with my camera and get out there. Fabulous.

 

[cargo]

Amazed with these. Very clever.

Gaz

 

[stument]

Amazing set! Love 2,3 & 4 stunning what a view

I'm going to have to get myself up there at some point

 

[chadders]

Great set of photographs. And no trouble with security guards anywhere?

 

[wegotitugetit]

Good set Paul. Number 3 for me: wonderful framing and light, especially on St. Pauls and a new angle - not for much longer I would imagine though!

Jeff.

Exactly what I was going to put - love that shot.

 

[-Paul-]

'Lighting up time' and the 'heart of the city' have my votes! But overall a cracking set.

 

[johnb]

I flew into Heathrow low a couple of weeks ago at dusk & these pics remind me of that trip.

They are really nice especially the ones from the Shard

 

[Aspock]

£25!!!! makes Montparnasse tower in Paris look cheap at 13.50 euro

 

[gramps]

Good set, 1st two for me
