A day in London

[Niall]

So on saturday I went to London to take some pictures and to just take in the sights of the city, I couldn’t have asked for better weather - as most of you will know it was scorching on saturday which made it a perfect day in such an awesome city. I hope my photos aren’t too cliche either, I’d like to think that they aren’t due to using one lens all day, this meant that the usual wide angle shots of landmarks were out og the question so that could work in my favour. And lastly before people ask the shots of the cityscapes were from the shard.

So here are the photos-

Thanks for looking

Fantastic mate! SOOO sharp. How are you finding the 5d?

 

[Niall]

Absolutely loving it, especially when coupled with an L lens as it was for these

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cracking set mate. So nice.

Westminster and The Tube are probably my fav's but the rest really are cracking!

​Can't wait to get back down there.

 

[Dan...]

1, 2 and 3 are my favourite!

 

[Niall]

Thanks Guys! Hopefully I’ll make some more trips down there in the future, it’s the first time I’ve been into the centre since 2004!

Just commented on Flickr but really love these, works really well as a set with one focal length.

 

[Niall]

I agree, Harry. It was nice in the mix of the hectic city not to be changing lenses

 

[JamesBryan]

Not a bad lens hey Niall

 

[Bobby.]

Brilliant pictures mate.

 

[Reev]

Westminster and The Tube are probably my fav's but the rest really are cracking!

Totally agree, especially love Westminster Station. Great stuff.

 

[Niall]

Not a bad lens hey Niall

Definitely not, god the AF is quick, you never miss a shot! It’ll pain me handing it back to you :dapprove: Thanks again for lending it to me, Mate!

 

[Brazo]

Very nice, liking the Tube

 

[Scrooge]

Awesome set!!

 

[Niall]

Cheers guys

They are f**king mint!!!!

I'd be over the moon with those! Great processing. Shot 1 is on the money for me. They're all good but 1 is brilliant.

 

[Brazo]

Also really like the two London buses on the bridge! Love the first one but would prefer a person in the shot to add a human element

I'm the complete opposite. I love the tube when it's empty. Lovely place with no people ruining it!

 

[AK]

You make London look decent!

 

[Niall]

That would be good Brazo, but I intentionally got the shot to show the emptiness of a usually bustling place

 

[Riad]

Very nice

Cracking set mate. What lens was it?

 

[JamesBryan]

Cracking set mate. What lens was it?

My Canon 135mm f2L

 

[Niall]

Yep, as James said. I'll miss that lens when I give it back to you :/ I'm definitely getting an L lens next.

 

[JamesBryan]

Does help with it being pretty much THE sharpest lens that Canon make.

 

[Niall]

You really notice too, the detail at 100% crops is unreal coupled with the 21mp of the 5D

 

[Clart]

Yeah brilliant. That first underground one is my favourite. The colours and composition are excellent.

 

[Lal B3N]

They look fantastic.

 

[GTR Cook]

Great shots, you have made London look great!

 

[Habitual]

I've just googled this lens and looked at your EXIF data.... Is it fixed at 135mm or am I being dumb?

Yes, fixed 135mm
