When returning from my brief visit home at the weekend I stopped for a few minutes just to take a few photos. As it happened the London Eye was bathed in red to commemorate Rememberance Sunday. This was purely a stroke of luck on my part!
Unfortunately I only had about 25mins to snap away whilst walking from Waterloo over to Embankment tube. This was becuase I had a train to catch back to Nottingham. Leaving myself half an hour to get to St Pancras from the Embankment certainly backfired! The tube caused me allsorts of problems but fortunately the lady at the St Pancras ticket office was kind enough just to allow me onto the next train :D
Here are a couple of photos from my brief stop. I was gutted that I didn't have my tripod on me at all becuase at the shutter speeds needed it was very dificult to get sharp images. The panoramic shot was stitched together just using two photos. I only did this to see how it came out - I will need to return and do it properly if I want to get some useable photos (the horizon is at a hugely inaccurate angle)!
