227. Monument

2009.07.01


That's good. If someone starts another fire at least we'll be able to watch it on the tele.
















Lesson: Big lenses are not always better than small lenses. Since the last time I went up the Monument the health and safety freaks have put a lot of very annoying wire mesh up there, completely spoiling the view and making DSLR photography very difficult. Luckily I had my compact with me.

smbunation I agree. I always try to carry my little P&S around with me on 'important' shoots. Love that pano. Nice set.

Widcat #6 reminds me of a sea shell. I love the photos of London.

jet28 Really cool set - 6 made me giddy! Did you have to wait long for the plane to fly past in 1?

#1 is amazing, I love the detail of the plane!
#6 looks like a shell. :)

thebronzebow Great set. Something about 7 particularily fascinates me.

busybee36 A great set of London pictures, especially the last two panoramas (I'm sure my neck will straighten out soon!) The hot weather we've been having is certainly giving ideal conditions for getting clear views. Thanks for taking the effort to climb up - I bet it was hard work in the heat!

StuffandNonsense Ahh, I see someone else has visited The Monument recently!

Very nice set; particularly impressed by the spiral shots, as it's so very dark in there...

Nice panoramas too; did the camera stitch them, or did you do it manually? If you have the original files, you'd probably get a more seamless result from PTgui. Download the trial version and see how you get on :)

Which reminds me, I was planning to write a pano stitching tutorial at some point... six months ago ;) In the meantime mabye you'd find my HDR tutorial interesting instead.
