Hi all, went out with my camera on Friday evening but my night was cut short by a flat battery ...idiot!

C+C appreciated.

I am working on getting my photos straight, as it is one of my downfalls, I really struggled with this one was there are lines going all over the place, tips appreciated. It was also another delve into the world of HDR.

A good set and well executed.

I like them.

Best regards

Very good. I work in canary wharf and have been meaning to take the camera in for some evening shots.

My shooting buddy and I are hoping to do a shoot at docklands soon. We've been meaning to do it for a year or more now though.

According to the limited EXIF on the shots they were done around 9:30 to 10:00pm is that right?

I'm not sure we'll be able to stay that light though. shame as it's a nice light

Ah one of my daughter's favourite clubbing haunts ! Nice set - looks like a great place for a shoot. #2 - lines, maybe use the pedestrian walkway as a cue as it doesn't look straight ?

Remember that if you think you may have to straighten a shot, or correct distortion from a wide lense, then leave yourself lots of room by shooting wider than necessary as you'll lose 10-15% off the extremes when correcting.

Thanks for the comments and tips, yeah those times are accurate. The light hung around for ages, I thought it would of been dark by the time I got home but the sun just would not say no.

I am still hunting out the best places to take photographs (without having my camera stolen) in east London, so any tips are appreciated.
