The Sixth London Photo Walk Thu 1st July 2010
Sunset, Evening, Photo Walk!
Location: The Thames and Embankment.
Meeting Point: Victoria Embankment, Blackfriars, Millenium Pier 19.30
It was another great turnout last week for our Night Photowalk with some of our regular photowalkers but great to see so many new faces.
Despite it being a cloudy night and not able to get any sunset shots, the night shots collated are superb. Well done to everyone who patiently waited for the sun to set (around 9.00pm) to catch the Houses of Parliament in a glorious golden light.
I saw some great images on the evening which are still stored on cameras somewhere. Please share your images with everyone on Pix.ie as we appreciate every image taken, even the ones taken an iphone!
Meeting up in Battersea, 8 miles away was a bit ambitious but well done who made it to the revised pub in Vauxhall. We’ll keep the walks a bit shorter in future!
Well it was a very tough choice for our favourite shot this walk… So many stunning images, London really is hard to beat at night. We thought though that for it’s striking composition, simplicity and originality this was our favourite shot, BIG Ben by Xerophytes.

Sorry guys I failed to meet to appear in the pub… primarily because I got lost (erm, should I say I stayed long in the area of Parliament waiting for the sky to turn totally black – which didn’t really happen even it’s already 10pm!).
Thanks for picking my Big Ben pic. Didn’t really expect it! I’ll see you on the next trip

No worries, yes it got quite late before it got dark. We wanted good weather for an evening photowalk but then have to wait ages for it to get dark. You get everything! So glad you waited though and got this fab photo of Big Ben.
See you at the next walk.

Congrats’ to the winning shot and thanks for picking mine as one of the other top shots.
Was a good evening – maybe we can start in Vauxhall and make to Battersea next time
Looking forward to the next walk.
