London - A Study in Light

London - A Study in Light, December 2006



I spent a week in London in late 2006 and the weather was typically grey, wet and dreary. But one day, for a few hours, the pale winter sun shone low against the horizon as it does in those high latitudes. The angle of the sun and the weak winter light create a special light that captures the tips of buildings and churches and casts shadows all about.

The last photograph was taken just after sunset as evening came and lights were turned on inside buildings. I held the camera on a metal fence as carefully as I could since I did not have a tripod. You can see the indoor lights shining out of the windows of the building while the traffic races about madly.

Enjoy!
