With this photo taken during my second visit to London, I want to celebrate my 12th anniversary here. I have been inactive almost two years, but now I have returned to my normal activity in the site.
This point of view is placed between the London Eye and the Westminster Bridge, and I took the photo with a small tripod and a long exposure time, in order to catch this image at dusk. I hope that you like.

Hello Josep,
Congratulations on your 12th TE-anniversary. This is a really beautiful and iconic photo from London. Big Ben looks fantastic with its warm illuminations which stand out so well from the cloudy sky. The sharpness is excellent as well.

Hello Josep,
Congratulations on your jubilee. It's a long time on the site, even considering some time's absence. This is a very good blue hour photo from London. I like the warm light streaming out of the windows and illuminating the palace of Westminster and the Big Ben. The lamps on the bridge also look very nice as darkness is falling on the city. You exposed the photo cleverly and placed the tower slightly off the centre.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola Josep,
My cong.'s for your 12th years beautiful post, and hope to see you keep up posting. A superior blue hour photo, with the monuments of London, taken from a famous POV - and yet a unique timing.
Bravo for that beauty, lights and clear details applied.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Bonjour Josep,

Douze ans, cela se f阾e et tu le fais avec grand talent. La tour est toujours aussi belle et on ne la voit pas souvent � cette heure du jour. C'est sombre et lumineux � la fois.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Josep
Congrats on your 12th ...
You made the Big Ben look more graceful by deep tones of the dim light and good to see some highlights in shadowed area. The warm lights lend a total nice lift to that iconic structure, and your exposure control is so seamless. Impressive capture, Congrats
Best regards

Hello Josep, picture postcard perfect!
A great time of day to get this shot with Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Portcullis house still identifiable in the twilight.
Excellent composition.
Regards Jean.

Hola Josep,
Enhora buena en tu 12 a駉s en TE. Estamos todos felices de tu regreso en el sitio.
Esta foto de Big Ben en la hora blu es estupenda, con tanta nitidez y solamente parte del Parlamento y la torre del reloj iluminadas con algunas ventanas en el inmueble de la derecha.
Optimo efecto con las dos torres de Wesminster Abbey en el secondo plano.
Congratulaciones y Feliz A駉 Nuevo.
Marie-Louise.

Oi, Josep!

Parab閚s pelos 12 anos de TE! Voc� os comemorou com uma foto muito bonita. As luzes noturnas foram bem capturadas, elas possuem uma boa cor e um aspecto bonito. O ponto de vista tamb閙 foi bem escolhido. O tom de azul do c閡 destaca ainda mais o rel骻io amarelo.
觮ima foto!

gervaso (28437) 2018-01-15 12:17

ChrisJ (172440) 2018-01-15 12:38

Hi Josep

A fantastic blue hour shot of Big Ben with the warm reddish and yellow light illuminations contrasting well against the blue tones. Excellent sharpness and well managed perspective. The Westminster bridge adds lead in lines. Tfs!

lucasgalodoido (27698) 2018-01-18 12:32

Ol� Josep,
uma marca impressionante mesmo no TE, e sempre com belas fotos. Parab閚s por essa data e que venham mais.

Hello Josep,
Congratulations with your anniversary on this site!
The warm colours of Big Ben and the parliament are very attractive and go well with the light blue sky.
The darker building has many windows beautifully illuminated in yellow.
Best regards, Paul

Hola amigo Josep.
Mis felicitaciones por estos 12 a駉s en la pagina aunque haya sido con ausencias, tus fotos siempre nos hacen disfrutar.
Como en el caso de esta preciosa imagen nocturna, donde la torre del Parlamento luce como un faro en la noche.
Una foto fant醩tica, con hermoso colorido, muy buena iluminaci髇 y una excelente nitidez.
Un buen trabajo. Me encanta.
Que tengais un buen fin de semana.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Luis.

P/D. Por cierto que pensaba, que no segu韆s subiendo fotos, pues no recib� contestaci髇 a mi comentario sobre la foto de tu regreso y como siempre he hecho, no suelo mirar la galer韆, solo voy llevando al d韆 mi respuesta a los comentarios que recibo a mis fotos.

Hola Josep,
congratulations!!!
This is such a great anniversary. In fact I will have my anniversary on TE as well in two days. In two days I will be 10 years here!!
So you are 2 years older :)
I am so glad that you are back!

This is one of the photos which I always dreamed about taking. I think I tried it once but in the pre digital times and I was not able to check the result straight away -after developing the photos i noticed that the exposure was not well balanced. I didn't have a chance to repeat it so far although I revisited London later again.
I noticed that the place in spite of being so important and famous is very poorly lit. They should really think through the lights there!
And so you took it at the best possible moment there. The actual blue hour which was about to start in few moments there would be too dark and exposure of the Big Ben would be impossible to balance with other lights.
So this is a perfect moment where you did the best in the circumstances.

The result is romantic, a little horror feeling,

The highest quality photography,
M
