“London Eye, blue hour”, settings: ISO 100, 50mm, f/16, 30 second exposure. I had spent a long time on the side of the river as the sun was going down. I had been hoping for an interesting sunset being the houses of parliament but it wasn’t amounting to much so I crossed over to catch the Southbank lights in the blue hour.
