City Of London at Night... - a photo on Flickriver

            Those of you using taking my picture and using it on SKYSCRAPERCITY without my permission please stop!!!...its getting a bit boring having to email them constantly.

I have started to notice that, with me, trying to get the shot that I want is never straight forward…lol

I went to this spot a few days ago and on my first visit, I left with a picture that I was happy with, its not till I got home and viewed my images on a bigger screen that I noticed that I did not get a light trail of the cable cars from the Emirates Air Line. 

So I decided to go back and try again, however on my second attempt, it was windy as hell. Every picture that I took just hand camera shake, even though I increased the shutter speed and ISO, I just could not get it to work.

Now on my third try I had left work early and thought I would get there just after sunset and go for that blue hour. However I got stuck in the Blackwell tunnel and totally missed it...lol, but to make this worse, when I got to the spot and looked at Canary Wharf and saw that the pyramid light was off!!!...I got my shot and came home. 

I adjusted the white balance temperature to give it that bluish/cold effect, I think I over it did it with the clarity but when I did I notice the steam from the CitiGroup building pop up. Decreased the highlights a bit and added a little vignetting in lightrooms. I then took it in to Photoshop and took the pyramid from my first picture and place it on to this one. 

I am hoping that HSBC will put their light on…
