Tower Bridge by shannejw

Tower Bridge

Catching up as always! This is from last night, playing long exposures from the side of the Thames, thinking about the artist's challenge. I was hoping for a bus, but didn't manage to time a shot to work. I did try from the bridge too, but the view was more of other photographers trying for long exposures and/or tourists taking pictures of themselves against the bridge.

This is black and white for the February BW Bookclub - http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/20950/bw-book-club-week-2-feb-3-9 and I was also having another go at the artist challenge http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/20816/new-artist-challenge-alex-holland.

This is the black and white version - colour version in extras http://365project.org/shannejw/extras/2014-02-09

Thank you for your lovely responses to the other black and white pictures. I'm not sure how much time I'm going to get to look at pictures this week, but I'll do my best.
great shot , the reflections look great.

Can't make up my mind if I prefer colour or black and white, liking both photos :-)

This one gets my vote - I like the luminous quality of the light... it gives the image a faint ghostly air which suits the lack of traffic in the shot.

Beautiful. Love that neon stripe of the bridge xx

Looks cool in B&W

Cool editing!

I think I actually prefer the B&W. More lines and light and forms.

@archaeofrog it was interesting looking at the components and having more to play with in b&w

Great pov and reflections. The bridge really stands out in b/w.

this is beautiful!

This is very nice some times I think b&w can look a bit flat bit this does not!

Great b & w, and especially as it's with a p and s camera. I have a small canon powershot too which takes brilliant photos...... Sometimes wonder why I bother with lugging a big DSLR around!
