London - view from above
Made by Katarina 2353
My dear contacts and visitors, I made some shots of London from air with my analogue camera during my last trip. Unfortunately, the conditions (weather included) were not the best ones, but I think they can serve for better orientation for people who are not familiar with the city. In my set London you can find more photos you can use as a city map :)) London is the largest urban area and the capital of England and the United Kingdom. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its settlement, London has been part of many important movements and phenomena throughout history, such as the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival. The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century the name London has also referred to the whole metropolis which has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly. London is one of the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as a major global city. London boasts four World Heritage Sites: The Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church; the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and its popularity has increased over the years due to economic growth. London's diverse population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city. As of 2006, it has an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area has a population of 8,278,251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million. The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012, followed by the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September. I hope this aerial photos of London will help you during your stay in this beautiful metropolis! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London


Into the Abyss

Canary Wharf Tube Station Whilst being around the Canary Wharf area, I could not resist in taking this shot. I know this shot is a bit common but it always captures the eye when I see it. Information Canary Wharf tube station is a London Underground station on the Jubilee Line, between Canada Water and North Greenwich. It is in Travelcard Zone 2 and was opened by Ken Livingstone setting an escalator in motion on 17 September 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. It is maintained by Tube Lines. Over 40 million people pass through the station each year, making it the busiest station on the London Underground outside Central London, and also the busiest which only serves a single line (the DLR station is completely separate). Before the arrival of the Jubilee Line, London's Docklands had suffered from relatively poor public transport. Although the Docklands Light Railway station at Canary Wharf had been operating since 1987, by 1990 it was already obvious that the DLR's capacity would soon be reached. The Jubilee Line's routing through Canary Wharf was intended to relieve some of this pressure. The tube station was intended from the start to be the showpiece of the Jubilee Line Extension, and its design was awarded in 1990 to the renowned architect Sir Norman Foster. It was constructed, by a Tarmac Construction / Bachy UK Joint Venture, in a drained arm of the former dock, using a simple cut and cover method to excavate an enormous pit 24 metres (78 ft) deep and 265 metres (869 ft) long. The resulting large volume of the interior has led to it being compared to a cathedral, and it has even been used to celebrate a wedding. However, the main reason for the station's enormous proportions was the great number of passengers predicted — as many as 50,000 daily. These predictions have been outgrown, with as many as 69,759 on weekdays recorded in 2006. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Wharf_tube_station

The Shot I took this while exploring London on the Open House Weekend. The picture looks towards the Canary Wharf Underground Station entrance by Jubilee Park. I usually go for a fairly natural HDR effect but deliberately enhanced it for this one for a more futuristic look. The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. Taken handheld. 3 raw images 2EV spacing. Opened in Photoshop first and each image noise reduced with Noiseware Pro and saved as tiffs. Photomatix Outputted in Photomatix to detail enhancer. Click the Camera name top right for Exif details and the settings used. The semi manual setting for reducing ghosting artifacts from the people movement between shots was used so any movement missed by the program could be selected. With a lot of people I still missed some so ran the OEV image through Photomatix for tonemapping as a single image with the same settings and then added that as a layer in Photoshop with a black mask and brought in the relevant parts with a brush. Thanks to a Neil Armstrong2 for the last tip Photoshop General adjustments in levels and curves to enhance with layer masks to exclude the highlight areas. Vibrance layer increase 38 points Saturation layer blues to reduce the intensity of the blue in the sky, The minus 2 EV image was copied in as a new layer, excluded with a black layer mask and a white brush at low opacity used to tone down bright highlights Noiseware Pro Unsharp Mask a little sharpening. Duplicate layer with mask to apply extra sharpening to the buildings with low amount and high radius. Resources For Licensing and more pictures see Edwin Jones Photography

2007 FTO Calendar cover photo of my modified Mitsubishi FTO GPX. Shot at Canary Whalf, London. I am so soo stoked!!! This photo was chosen to be the cover of the 2007 FTO Owners Club Calendar. Amazingly the same car was chosen for last years cover but dressed up in veilside This shot worked out so well, I thought I had a good shot in the bag when I started to pack up at 2am in the morning after almost an hour at this site. I had been waiting long periods of time for cars coming out of canary whalf which was kinda crazy but I just loved the composition of the shot and was happy to wait. As I was putting the camera in the bag I look up to see the 2am night bus about to head this way!!! SHHITTTTT - throw the camera back on the tripod and hit the button - I watched as this beast sweeped past me, i remotely unlocked my car for the correct amount of seconds to get the right level of interior blue light (Something I had got good at) and 60 full seconds later the shutter closed. If you could have seen me when I saw the tiny 2 inch preview you would have laughed!! I had finally got it. So what you are seeing is not whichcraft or alien lazer beams but simply the lights from the interoir of the upper level of the bus - Bo!

Floating Bridge in Canary Wharf, London
Made by John Quintero
The bridge links two areas of very different scale. On the one side a vast commercial development and on the other the more delicate proportions of 19th century warehouses and a quayside piazza. By creating a low floating structure emphasis is placed on the horizontal stretch of water rather than the vertical dominance of Canary Wharf. The slender form is evocative of a brightly coloured insect touching the water as lightly as a water skater, allowing pedestrians to feel the water as they cross. Colour is central to the concept – like a laser beam of light the bridge skims the dock with a piercing lime green line, the sense of perspective exaggerated by the tapering plan of the deck. Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centred on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands. Rivalling London's traditional financial centre, The Square Mile, Canary Wharf contains the UK's three tallest buildings: One Canada Square (sometimes known as the Canary Wharf Tower) at 235.1 m (774 ft); followed by 8 Canada Square and the Citigroup Centre, both at 199.5 m (654 ft).[1] However, according to the official Canary Wharf website,[2][3][4] One Canada Square is 800 ft (244 m).

Canary Wharf is a major business district located in London, United Kingdom. Canary Wharf is one of London's two main financial centres, alongside the traditional City of London, and contains many of the UK's tallest buildings, including the second tallest (and tallest completed), One Canada Square. Canary Wharf contains around 14,000,000 square feet (1,300,000 m2) of office and retail space, of which around 7,900,000 square feet (734,000 m2) is owned by Canary Wharf Group. Around 90,000 people work in Canary Wharf and it is home to the world or European headquarters of numerous major banks, professional services firms and media organisations including Barclays, Citigroup, Clifford Chance, HSBC, Skadden and Thomson Reuters. Canary Wharf is located in the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs in the Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London. The West India Docks once formed part of the busiest port in the world. After the docks were closed in 1980 the British Government adopted various policies to stimulate the redevelopment of the area, including through the creation of the London Docklands Development Corporation in 1981 and granting the Isle of Dogs Enterprise Zone status in 1982. In 1987 the Canadian company Olympia and York agreed to construct a major office development on the Isle of Dogs, with construction commencing in 1988.

UK - London - Canary Wharf Underground
Made by Darrell Godliman
The iconic London Underground sign, here seen against Canary Wharf, still seems fresh and modern (to me anyway) and yet it's been around for quite a while. 'The origins of the roundel, in earlier years known as the 'bulls-eye' or 'target', are obscure. While the first use of a roundel in a London transport context was the 19th-century symbol of the London General Omnibus Company — a wheel with a bar across the centre bearing the word GENERAL — its usage on the Underground stems from the decision in 1908 to find a more obvious way of highlighting station names on platforms. The red circle with blue name bar was quickly adopted, with the word UNDERGROUND across the bar, as an early corporate identity. The logo was modified by Edward Johnston in 1919.'

Sula, all time favourite record James Blunt, You're Beautiful and Goodbye Lover. Canary Wharf, London. Sula was with her friend Catrina and their 2 young children in the shopping complex in Canary Wharf after watching the London Marathon. As soon as I saw Sula I knew I wanted to photograph her, and I really like when I get that gut feeling, that instant recognition that someone looks right, dynamic in this incidence. Sula was great to photograph, laughing at it all with Catrina then posing really well with a cool elegance and inner confidence that originally caught my eye. Catrina's partner is a photographer and she was talking about photography in a really good and interesting way and I suggested that she should take it up, and I hope she does.

View On Black A very nice - despite the cold wind! (and, well, this is supposed to be the summer start in britain!, gosh!!! ;-D) - walk in Canary Wharf - thank you boss for having being such a good guide for us! Difficult to find a shot to start with, after three days of taking pics of beautiful and silly architectures - but I love this one: it's a different one - no reflections, but a very sober and elegant design underlined by the delicate and beautiful tones. Yes, I'm [slowly!] back :-)))

I'm so sorry that i've just not had enough time of late to visit everyone's streams on flickr. I've just spent an hour going through pages of contact's photos leaving comments, during which my wifi connection here dropped about 30 times :( And this is the reason I'm not about much anymore, i'm working down here in London, and, well, by the time i've finished work I find it hard to get back, get changed and head back out to take photo's. Still looking for a flat which will hopefully make things a little easier, but for the time being my life consists of travelling between the building on the left here and the local travelodge :)


two tracks and a cloudy sky - what for a shot is this?
Made by rita vita finzi
View On Black Sometimes there are shots that are not so special - not perfect, noisy, somehow common - like this one - nothing special, very noisy (also because it has been taken on the train) - may be, yes, common - but - I love it - even if I can't explain exactly why - it's atmosphere remind me of some paintings, or some 60's (or 50's?) shots (and that's the reason why I have tried also the b&w version) - I like its tones, a little bit melancholic, I like the place, and the moment, and - oh, well, I just love it! :-) enjoy your week end.

Canary Wharf Underground Station, London - 31st January 2009 16:49 The escalators and curved glass canopy of the main entrance at Canary Wharf Underground Station on the Jubilee Line. It was opened in 1999 ahead of the Millennium celebrations at the next stop (North Greenwich) and was designed by Sir Norman Foster. The building rising behind the glass canaopy is 25 Bank Street - which was primarily the home of Lehman Brothers. I plan to replace this photo, and to add a few night images of the area when I take my tripod with me!

UK - London - Canary Wharf - sq

This trip to London happened to co-incide with the day the Markets went into serious meltdown (well, for the first time during the current Credit Crunch) and yet wandering around Canary Wharf it was not immediately obvious. The mood seemed quite jovial and come mid-afternoon everyone seemed to have left work and the pubs and bars were full. I suspect there was less Champagne being drunk than usual though. Here I've used Topaz Adjust to give a pseudo-HDR feel as I love the tones it produces on the buildings facades.

I've had enough of the Canary Wharf shots now - planning a natural retreat to the last of the Stanton Drew images tomorrow, so thought I might as well finish up with a final one from that escalator that went down so well last time... (even though it is in fact coming up!). This one is a different composition, with higher contrast and a drop in the lighting...same hazards though: hand held, 200ISO, flash off on a point & shoot, and yes, as before the escalator was still moving and it was night-time.


The Other Side...
Made by Trapac
FujiFinepix F450 (Point & Shoot Digicam). About a month ago I spent a little time with a friend staying in East London - the Canary Wharf complex was just a hop, skip and a jump away....travelling by night on the Docklands Light Railway certainly adds another dimension to public transport.... It's a hand-held shot taken by night without a flash and yes, the escalator was moving. :) So forgive the graininess, but it is worth opening up to large size and feeling a momentary touch of motion sickness....
