This was floor 13 of the tallest building, and really quite a beautiful view, in a strange way.
This was the top - something like 24 storeys iirc
I cheated a bit. The original wasn’t quite like that. It was in my head though.
The original, shot dark deliberately to give some sky texture. Shot with post processing in mind.

This is my favourite London shot. You won’t believe the original.

I like the original as well actually! That Millenium Bridge shot is very cool. Nice shots dude! I was looking through your flickr earlier - in particular, ogling the guitar on the left in your "lockdown rig" shot - what is it?
Crap pickups but great wood and a good build. Other photos on the flickr.
I really like that!
I went to Belarus for Christmas and the plan was then to come home via Ukraine and of course my main purpose was to visit the Chernobyl site. But then Belarus went on Ukraines red list and I ended up in the States.
Your pics have strengthened my resolve!
In Belarus, the people I met were staggered that I would want to visit there. The family of my girlfriends daughter in law were Belarusians who fled when the accident happened. They have always been concerned that it would affect the DIL's fertility and ability to produce a healthy child. They see it very different to us, can't see at all why it's become a tourist attraction.
Recently the DIL did give birth to a healthy child, so I'm hoping the next time I visit they will feel more relaxed about it!
Not only that Belarus has just opened a new nuclear power station which has already had problems and is in the hands of a president who makes Trump look like a level headed wise old sage.
They can't understand why the west isn't concerned about such a maniac on their doorstep and fear an accident is a when, not an if.
Bought myself a new (well, second-hand from the ‘Bay) Panasonic FZ2000 last night, so I’m looking forward to that arriving and having a play with a few of the things my FZ82 can’t do
