[POTD] Pic of the Day

[dancefloorlandmine]

This was the result of hazyjayne suggesting some evening photography last week. We originally went to Somerset House, but the courtyard had been filled with marquees for a corporate event, so the next stop was Waterloo Bridge for some shots as dusk fell.

For this one the iXus 330 was propped on the helpful flat top of one of the metal poles that support the railings. Unfortunately the moon was clearer in the other photos (it's that bright splodge behind the clouds), but everything else was even fuzzier.

Good tripods have rubber feet and cushioned joints to help damp out vibrations. But even so - if you put it next to a truck thundering past, it'll probably still shake a bit.

I hope you had the wrist strap round your hand, we wouldn't want a series of photos of the Thames - from underneath :)

There wasn't too much traffic - but I might have just managed to collect a passing bus. Or I just need better optics for distance ... or I shifted the camera slightly ...

Heh. Ohhhh yes ... I'm paranoid around rivers and big drops anyway ...
