Hello hello

Some shots from the past couple of weeks; wandering around and about London town.

Still figuring out what I'd like to improve in these shots, so C&C welcome as always.

Not bad.
The first looks off centre.

The first two caught my eye ... did you HDR ?

Not too crazy about the candid shots.

Straighten that cathedral! I really like all of these. The candids have really nice colours, particularly the last one - but could do with some more interesting crops to improve the composition.

#1 and #2 are quite interesting. #3 and #4 seem to be a bit underexposed, especially #3.

The first one is pretty much dead centre. What it isn't is parallel to that facade of St. Pauls, as the bridge and the cathedral aren't quite perpendicular . I do need to straighten it up though. Mini spirit level time.

Both are SOTC, no HDR. Was an overcast night for the cathedral shot, and the amount of street and building light in central London is enough to reflect off the cloud, giving that colour. The second I expected the spotlights to bow out, and timed the exposure such that the bridge highlights would be just under being clipped.

The club candids were done with the on camera flash (saving up for off camera) and I wanted to preserve the lighting inside, which is why they're a little underexposed. Composition of those could definitely be improved - they probably aren't considered enough to have been put up, but I really liked the colour. Now to put that into an interesting composition next time I'm out.

Thanks for the comments
