London at Night

A rare visit nowadays to London in the evening gave an opportunity to take some night shots generally using longer exposure times with my rucksack acting as a tripod.

 

The British Library

 

Blackfriars Station on the South Bank, with Blackfriars bridge in the background.

A zoom photo of Blackfriars Bridge and the lights of the N Bank.



A busker in the subway of Blackfriars Bridge.



Stockers Lake Rickmansworth - A Grey Day's Sightings

A visit to an overcast Stockers Lake Rickmansworth with poor light did not stop me from taking a few photos. 

 

An emerging coot from a dive to collect weed.  I love the way the water bulges as the coot surfaces.

A wintering male Goldeneye, one of my favourite ducks at about a 50 yards.  I am waiting for one to get closer.



 

Part of a small flock of Lapwing.

 

A Brown Rat in the reeds at the water's edge.

 

A restful Grey Heron.
