Continue of 2nd visit .....In the previous post, I had covered London bridge in my visit and it was a short but stunning experience. After the visit, I went to another tourist hot spot ' London Eye' where the great ferries wheel located just beside a canal separating two land. This is really the first time seeing such a huge ferries wheel standing in the middle of city. The sky were getting dark and sunlight was fading away. This realy make photography a great challenge even for Doom's favourite gadget. I had to increased ISO setting significantly and keeping the shutter speed slow as well. These two combination setup requires great deal of steady hand to ensure minimal blur photo shot. I took couple photo of the machine standing like a tiny ant beneath the giant wheel. I was not particulary happy with the outcome but hey that's all I could do.
I walked to other side of the wheel through a bridge, an elegant and futuristic architecture building that remind me the great bridge at Hong Kong that I'd seen couple years back. From the bridge one could become spectator of the London Eye and Clock Tower in same horizon. Unfortunately with the sky getting dark, taking such a magnificent view requires great deal of tool and strong gadget. I didn't even hesitate not to take such shot (I'll be back!!) and walk further because of my empty stomach grumbling and craze for feeds. During the walk, there were several historical church along the way stood within crowded night crawlers. I went with friends into a restaurant for full course meal there were moderately pleasing but 'hey, it had us all full up'.
We took another long walk going around to have a close view of the Clock Tower and along the way. I came to the opposite end of where London Eye were standing with purple light circling the wheel, it was beautiful with different atmoshphere. Despite the distance, I'd extented my barrel as much possible to 70mm to capture the scene. As the night getting late, my friend urge to have a night view of the Clock Tower before heading back home. It was few minutes walk away before standing below the ancient building. There were renovation construction on going and one portion of the building wasn't lid up. It makes the whole building seems to be taken apart with each has its own ground.
The trip overall was a satisfaction because the number of places visited while avoiding traffic and human crowds. I was really indulge with the greatness of these building and architecture that managed to attract millions of visitor each year locally and faraway across the ocean.
