Hi all

Well after my last stint at London Eye (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=199989), I decided to go back at night time to get a few shots of the area... several months later :)
I waited until I had High Tide (info found here:http://www.portoflondon.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11/site/maritime) and a clear-ish sky
, which was quite a while as the weather here has been fairly bad of late.

Anyway, High Tide on Thursday was at 11pm, so I trudged out to get these.. hope you like them.

P.S. you can see where the merges didn't really fit in this image... but I tried and this is the best I could come up with.

Houses of Parliament (had to really sort the verticals out on this one)

These are great! The shots over the water are nice, but I really like the last one. The person riding a bicycle (I'm guessing?) adds a cool effect!

Awesome shots Adam. Beautiful colors and detail on the first shot especially in the water, excellent pano, and a superb effect on the third which I love, very well done.

Oh yeah, I forgot to address this - there is no one riding a bike in any scene? Which part did you mean?

All great shots, well done :)

Thank you Juz :)

The third, the third! Well, the others ARE nice too. ;) But the third one says "whoooosh!"

what is the strange, wiggling light trail in the last one? I thought maybe someone riding a bicycle, or a jogger?

Oh that. No that's just the reflections of the cars going past a plasitc barricade on the side of the road. They are doing renovations to that bridge, and the barricades are a little warped, hence the squiggles

Fantastic shots really love them...

Thank you Dawn :)

Cheers Moonshine. I actually think I oversharpened that pano, and I've also got that matching problem I mentioned above, but I still like it too.
