Chelsea Harbour View (1)

by McGregNi

I've been on nights and cross the river heading home at about 7.30am. Its not easy to find 'photogenic' shots on this western section of the Thames, but I spotted this small walkway near the road.

I had the K7 and lenses ready as I knew light would be good. Shot with DA 18-55 WR at wide end, f8 with fill flash for the overhanging trees.

PP in Sagelight 4 and PS Elements 8 with Topaz DeNoise plugin.

Nice view Nigel. The use of the overhanging foilage has worked well to fill in some of the sky area and break it up a bit. Always pays to carry a camera, even on the way home

Does the river normally head home at 0730? Nicely framed!

I think the river's home times would be affected by tidal forces Paul, so probably it varies ! Certainly this is a good time to catch shots along here - I found the stillness of the water an advantage - it's usually more choppy later in the day.
