A challenging HDR shot taken in the central Great Court of the BM in London.  I love this place, and have spent many an hour chilling out there.  This shot was another HDR effort, via the Sigma 10-20mm (at the short end).  This time, it was taken with the express intention of producing a mono shot.  Again, a busy day meant that finding the correct moment to get minimum people versus best sun/cloud positioning.  This, coupled with the fact that I couldn’t use a tripod (health and safety nannying again!), meant that I took more shots than I care to count before I got what I wanted.  Never have so many Japanese tourists, one after another, wandered directly into my shot to set up their own….!  Ah well – patience reaps rewards…

This is an HDR shot of the Catholic Westminster Cathedral in Victoria, London.  It was taken at the beginning of an unexpectedly sunny period during an overcast day.  I wanted to create a sense of the scale of the building, so the trusty 10-20mm Sigma was pulled out of the bag.  Getting a series of three exposures where the volume of moving tourist traffic was lower was another thing I had to be patient about on what was a busy day.
