Olympic Fever Hits The Big Smoke

Olympic Fever Hits The Big Smoke

Postby Lloyd H on Fri 10 Aug 2012, 2:07 pm

Well after a failed attempt on Tuesday as the heavens opened I decided to give it another go with Ellins and Glen. A cracking night, there were some very good "views" as well :whistle:

Just a couple of shots, all I was after really were some shots of the landmarks that were lit up in different colours for the Olympics and Tower Bridge with the Olympic rings..

Nope no HDR, although for the Tower Bridge I had to do a little bit of layer masking on the bridge with an underexposed shot to get a balanced exposure.
