Walking

Having got up rather late today, we decided that we would indeed go into the West End and take the camera.

It. Was. Very. Cold.

I took a fair number of pictures, but not as many came out as well as I would have hoped, particularly those from down by the river where we went part way across Golden Jubilee Bridge to get a decent view of Parliament and the clock tower holding Big Ben, but there wasn't really enough light for my poor little cyber-shot. I'll post the best of what I have tomorrow after I've sorted through them and tried a little gamma-correction here and there where there appears to be some detail to be dragged from the darkness.

We did a bit of shopping, had a couple of pints and walked a reasonable distance around the West End. I had a fine time in the company of My Girl^TM. I think we may do something similar again when the days are longer and the weather finer. Maybe get some pictures of London (buildings, vistas and angles) that wouldn't normally get taken.

I am currently full of curry and quite contented, thanks very much for asking!

Ponsonby and Carruthers tour London after dark

As I mentioned in my earlier post, Furtle and I spent several hours sauntering around the West End yesterday. The express purpose of the expedition was to take a few snaps of the Christmas lights while they are still up. Sadly, many of the snaps I took were beyond the ability of my little Cyber-Shot camera to capture adequately. That said, I expect that if I understood how to work it better, I may get more acceptable results, but unlike a number of my friends, I am not really into photography, so I have never really worked out how to get the best from it.

Be that as it may, ( here are some of the best that are viewable (One probably NSFW): )
