[Photos] London from the 31st floor

[dancefloorlandmine]

On Tuesday last week, Centrepoint finally held an event at Centrepoint - in the Paramount Club, up on the 31st floor (the club actually takes up three floors, but that's the one that we were on). The event was a pub quiz, with some celebrity guests (including Sara Cox, Annie Mac, Scott Mills, Hugh Grant, David Tennant and Jonathan Ross) - the event photos are why I was there with my camera, and are covered by my contract of employment, but you can see some of them on the Centrepoint website. These, however, were photos of opportunity - a 31st floor view, you say? Over London? At night? And I've got a camera with me? Don't mind if I do, thanks ...

Unfortunately, what I didn't have with me were a tripod (hand-holding night-time landscape shots is not ideal) or an open window/balcony/darkened room, as a result of which the photos are a) a little blurred and b) there are quite a few reflections from the room, which are less than ideal. (The night wasn't entirely clear, either, which didn't help, although it does add to the Bladerunner-like vista of some of them.)

So, if anyone gets a chance to get me back up there in better photographic conditions ...

I like the third one best which makes the reflection look like a Bladerunner style advert near St. Paul's. :)
Either I'm daft or I can't find your event photos on the centrepoint website, only some by "Harriet Armstrong".

Harriet (harrietarmstrong.com) is a photographer who also works with us. Because I'm a member of CP staff, though, my photos aren't separately credited to me, as they're copyrighted to CP.

There are some of mine in the gallery on FaceBook - including this one, which I'm quite pleased with.

Ah right, fair enough. Cheers.
You shooting the DJ? Nothing new there. ;o)
