I think this is part of the Blackwall Basin and it is a great little spot with a great view of the city and behind you will see the O2 arena, worth a trip down.

I got here just as the blue hour kicked in and at the same time we had a few clouds join us, so got a little lucky.

Not much on the setup as it was straight forward shot, although I did nearly drop my camera in the water and I am not even going to lie I nearly shit myself…lol…tilted the camera a little just so that Canary Wharf would appear as if it was centred and so the street lamps would make it look like a leading line, kind of like runway lights..lol

When I got home and viewed it on the PC…the was to much orange, which was coming from the street lights. I bought that down a little as well as the yellows, as I wanted the buildings to be the main focus too. I increased the contrast, clarity and blacks and bought the highlights down and then finally added a bit of vignetting in LR. 

Next time I might ask people to turn off their lights and open their curtains as I really like how the blue sky has reflected in some of the windows…lol…if you don’t ask you don’t get….lol
