Life in the fast lane, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

This is a view of Tower Bridge, a suspension bridge over River Thames and an icon of London City. Don't call this one the London Bridge and annoy the english as London Bridge is a separate nearby bridge! This is called Tower Bridge as it is located close to Tower of London.

The road leading into the bridge (that you see here) can actually be raised to an angle of 83 degrees to allow some of the bigger river traffic to pass!

Hi Pradeep, nice choice of shutter speed, limiting the number of light trails from the cars. Sharp detail and excellent perspective. TFS, Roberto

Hi Pradeep, wonderful shot! I agree with Roberto & Indro that you made a very nice night shot. I also admire your courage to stand in the middle of the street during this heavy traffic! I would not dare to do that by myself.
Please check into my photo album and give me your comments. I am new to this community and would need any critiques in order to improve my skills.
Thanks and regards, Dani

Brilliant shot, Perfect exposure and use of available lighting. I want to go straight out and try something similar!

My only criticism is that you seem to have a few stray lens reflections that could have been cloned out.

Hi Pradeep, yes its a very striking image and it would seem your POV was a risky one. Clone out the lens flare as mentioned though. Well done.

Vey interesting night shot. The lights of the cars are creating nice "lines". The sharpness is very good, and the POV is perfect and lightness excellent. Congratulations!!!

Hi Pradeep,
A very good and original nightshot of towerbridge. I like your POV here in the middle of the road with the traffic around you.
Interesting to see the different illuminations of the tow towers of the bridge.
Well done,
Harko

Wow! Great shot! Like others have said it's a great pov. I assume you were on an island? Not standing in the middle of the road I hope! :) The light trails are fantastic. Well done!
