The Eye

The Londo Eye

London offers unique opportunities for some cool cityscapes and street photography.  It also challenges a photographer to find a new way of seeing iconic sites.  The London Eye is not only a captivating icon of London, but also one photographed a thousand times a day.  I tend to always be looking at things differently and in this case, I found the chimneys of building working well with the London Eye to give a different kind of view.   I made two versions of this image.  One was straight black and white and the other I toned and added a texture.

Which one do you prefer?

London Eye

This image is an older shot but a favorite of mine.  It was taken on July 7, 2005.  I was in London and a few blocks away from where the bus exploded.  needless to say, the day was chaotic.  I walked all over London that day.  They shut down the E that day.  This exposure shows the Eye empty.  Something you don’t see much at all.  I liked the building in the foreground and the stacks.  There wasn’t much color so I decided to make it black and white.
