Lambeth Bridge

I have an ongoing project to photograph the Thames bridges, from Kew to Tower bridge, by night.

It is a rather slow going project because:
- I don't get into London that often.
- Not every night I am there is right for photography
- I can usually only do one bridge a night
- It can take several visits to get the shot I want.

Since, I was in Town last Saturday, I naturally wanted to bag another bridge. I had intended to photograph Westminster Bridge, and had even pre-planned several shots. Unfortunately, when I got there, I found that end of the Parliament next to Westminster Bridge was covered in scaffolding and plastic. This ruined the shots I had planned. It was time to find another bridge. Fast.

So I moved onto Lambeth Bridge. Frankly, it's not the most exciting bridge on the Thames. And with the sun nearly down I didn't have much time to find an interesting angle. Still I managed a couple of images for the collection.

Camera Club Trip to London

A few of us took a trip to London on Saturday for a stroll along the South Bank.


6 More London is a striking building, that has already featured in club competitions. The vivid red certanly drew the eye of everyone present on this trip.


Ann kindly lent me her 15mm fish eye lens for a while, which was fun to play with.
