Walking on air! by nicolaeastwood

Walking on air!

At the Shard.
I was having terrible trouble with the reflections.

(Things I learnt today in photography; don't wear a red dress if you are going to be shooting through glass - all you can see is yourself!)

Then I spotted this reflection and just HAD to have it. I figured I'd stop battling the reflections and embrace them!

SOOC other than a little cropping!!
@danitech Isn't it mind blowing - I loved it, didn't want to leave - want to go back in the evening now!!

Wow, this is so cool, I LOVE the reflection! You did such a good job, I just got the ache with the reflections whereas you've embraced them! Fav!

I freaked out when the window cleaners came down so I forgot to take a photo!

Me too, I would love to go back and take a night shot although I can imagine it would be a nightmare with the their lights reflecting on the windows... @johnmnewman was saying he may give it a got Thursday night ... :)

@danitech there was a chap with LOADS of really cool camera kit and he had this very clever almost cone of black felt with suction cups that stuck to the window, and a drawstring hole that he put the lens through......He wasn't bothered by reflections!! Might get the sewing machine out see what I can make!! :0). Thank you so much for the FAV!!!

Eeek! What's that guy doing???

But this is a fab photo, and I'm so glad you decided to embrace the reflections - it would have been a perfect moment for a self-portrait though - did you do one? :)

I can't wait to go up into the shard one day. I can totally imagine you not wanting to leave. :)

This is so cool! Is this from your offices or did you have to find a high spot?

That is funny about the dress. I've had trouble getting good shots from my office because the lights in there show up too well. I don't suppose anyone would mind if I shut down all the lights in the office in the middle of the day for a picture.

The trick is this http://www.lenskirt.com/ but I'm thinking that's a lot of money. (Am getting the sewing machine out soon, will let you know how I get on!! :0)
