The building you see framed by the London Eye is the Shell building. I’m not sure why they choose to leave their lights on all night long.
If my fuzzy knowledge is correct, they started as a company that collected sea shells from the sea shores, and probably sold them. One day when they were out collecting shells they found oil, and correctly established there were more funds in oil than in collecting the deceased remains of sea creatures.
This shot follows that taken yesterday which was on a lovely London rooftop over the bank holiday weekend as the sun was coming up and the light was pretty darn good. It was good also that the wheel was not in motion, as that meant I could take the required exposures without the difficult task of de-ghosting it.
Cool building, even cooler story. I guess it is time to start wandering around collecting sea shells 😉
Great contrast with the lights. Nice capture and title.
Sweet framing and the contrasting colors work well. Nice job!
Love your unique perspective of the “Eye”. The complimentary golds & blues keep our eyes within the frame! This requires a really big print!
Awesome photo! Love it! I just shot my first ferris wheel the other night. Moving though.
Ha, man… Now I gotta fact check to see if that story is true. Cause it’s interesting 🙂
Nice shot of The Eye. Man, these things scare me …
Very cool POV mike. Its nice to see the wheel from a different perspective.
