These are the best two you've posted for me. I've never bothered going down to see the Gerkin even tho' I'm in London at least once or twice a week. It's quite something. I'd like to see it close up and inside.

Very nice indeed. Im a frequent visitor (tickets are cheap at ryanair) and i have a few shots of my own. I would like to see the building from inside one day, but i dont think they offer any tours.

Was the clouds really that dark and how did you get the OOF effect on #1?

This is another HDR image, just so I can bring out the cloud more; the blur in the first one was by tilting the lens with my TS-E. :)

Cheers Condyk :D

Took the words right out of my mouth. Have you sold any of these? They are very unique- you seem to be close to perfecting the style.

Not yet Alan, I've not sold any of those yet, I'm kind busy at the moment, in a week or so I'll select a few and submit to alamy.

Thanks for all your positive feedback :D

Great shots.

I was in London a few years ago for work, I was there for about a month. There is something to take a picture of around every corner.
