London: Tower Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

London: Tower Bridge

Would you take me back to the London town
Where it felt good to be around
And I will pay you solid gold, my friend

From the song So So by Gary Go from his album Gary Go (2009)

A tribute to the beautiful city of London with this quote from London-based singer/songwriter Gary Go and a picture of course of one of the most famous landmarks of the city: the Tower Bridge. Taken at the end of the day that I spent in London.
The Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge over the River Thames and was opened in 1894. The longest span is 200ft (61m) and the bridge has a total length of 801ft (244m).
The photo was taken from the bank in front of the Tower of London.

I hope you like this photo and thanks for your visit! :-)

Dag Lars,

In onze jacht op nieuwe nog niet eerder vertoonde plaatsen is het goed af en toe terug te keren naar die plaatsen die reeds bewezen hebben interessant te zijn en er dan nog een keer, met een frisse blik, een nieuwe foto van te maken.

groet Rob

Dag Lars,

Na drie dagen zonder pc ben ik hier terug.
Een van de meest gefotografeerde bruggen in de wereld denk ik, maar u nam een zeer mooie hoek waardoor alles perfect is te zien.
Prachtig perspectief en mooie kleuren. Bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Lars,

A classic London view and excellent shot in all respects. I would have loved though if there had been something that had made it a little more exciting. However, I am perfectly aware that this not always easy if you have limited time. I loved your inclusion of the man on the lawn in your Big Ben photo, but here something similar was of course not possible. TFS and have nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

bertolucci (11976) 2009-06-19 13:30

Hej Lars,
De Tower Bridge blijft een imposante brug - past dus perfect in je TE portfolio. De hoek is goed gekozen en mooi is ook hoe door de lucht het blauw domineert. Fijne plaat!
En bedankt ook voor de Gary Go link - had ik nog niet eerder gehoord - goed!
Fijn weekend!
Bert

Charo (31651) 2009-06-19 13:49

Superb vangst van dit klassieke beeld van de brug. Het perspectief is heel goed met een uitstekende licht en details.
Gegroet,
Charo

paololg (13074) 2009-06-19 14:36

Ciao dear Lars,
you have found a beautiful day to pleasantly capture the most famous bridge in London, putting it before to a beautiful bright sky. Even if it is a building very photographed, it's always a pleasure to admire its architectural beauty, especially when the quality of the photo is excellent as this. Compliments!
Ciao, have a nice w.e.!
Paolo

darek1978 (11048) 2009-06-19 17:30

Hello Lars,
in these kind of photos you are a master.
This is a really spectacular view on the tower bridge, with a perfect POV and a great perspective.
I also like the great natural colours and the magnificent sharpness.
Have a great WE.
Giorgio

Cretense (54554) 2009-06-20 8:33

Hello Lars!

Great architecture photo, great capture of one of the "trademarks" of London. Great POV and diagonal perspective, great framing and simple but very effective composition! Excellent light managment, beautiful colours! Congratulations!

batalay (20642) 2009-06-20 13:23

Hello Lars,

This is an excellent image, clean and crisp, with an elegant but simple composition. I like it very much, and your note — as usual first rate. In 1994 we sailed out on the Royal Viking Queen — a luxury small cruise ship that held only 212 passengers — and passed through the open drawbridge. And, we sailed to the Norwegian Fjords, and finally returned and sailed into Amsterdam, which you know well.

Warm regards,

Bulent

yedirenk (7111) 2009-06-20 17:28

Hi Lars,
ou have a beautiful day here in London, I was here twice, both time it was cloudy and depressing. Now I see this bridge is so much more impressive and beuatiful than under the low light. Great POV, composition. Lovely blue sky and some light cloud, color and light perfectly balanced. Well done and congrats.

stego (22304) 2009-06-21 9:13

Hi Lars,
A splendid capture of this famous landmark of London. You were clever tooking the profit of the vintage POV and considering the infamous weather of London, I'd say you were quite lucky with the light.
Regards,
José

shevchenko (9694) 2009-06-21 22:40

Hello Lars,
Lovely Tower Bridge in castle's design, nice landmark architecture completed with flying flags, beautiful sunny sky as background, thanks for sharing the old bridge.

Hello Lars,
one of the most known places and at the same time a trademark of London.A well managed shot with a good perspective and POV.I like your informative note, as the two towers that outlined against the blue sky.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Miha2ou7 (4887) 2009-06-22 15:06

Hey LArs,

That`s a classic, but yeah, it`s still pretty nice to see it. As always a perfect technical realisation.

Best regards.

siolaw (25664) 2009-06-23 3:07

Hi Lars
A clean presentation of one of London's main landmarks... Weather was friendly and that helped you in getting naturally saturated colors. Sharp and well framed too
Greetings
Laurent

feather (49848) 2009-06-25 3:52

I see you went to my capital city! Classic view of Tower Bridge, and very well taken with good sharpness. It looks as if you had good weather for your stay.
Kath

bakes888 (18045) 2009-06-27 18:08

Hi Lars. I think they must have put more importance on bridges earlier times judging by the ornate and grandiose nature of the tower bridge. Nice catch, great weather and sky to show the bridge to its best. Good sharpness and composition. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good Sunday, Paul.

jafadabret (38819) 2009-06-27 21:42

Bonjour Lars.
Une vue de ce fameux pont qui serait classique si ce n'est le beau ciel bleu et la belle lumière qui l'accompagnent. Le relief du monument est bien présent avec le jeu des ombres.
Beau travail !
Jacques

pablominto (39832) 2009-06-27 22:25

Hello Lars,

Good point of view and a classical composition!
The structure is nicely placed in the frame and the angle of light gives a fine 3D effect...
Excellent details!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Didi (35620) 2009-06-29 9:59

Bonjour Lars
Une très belle luminosité ambiante éclaire ce pont.
Point de vue bien choisi qui met bien en évidence cette architecture qui semble avoir été récemment restaurée.
Amitiés

jaywalker (12186) 2009-08-05 11:18

Hi Lars, A lovely shot of England’s most famous bridge, the soft light & pastel colours blend beautifully, superb sharp quality offering brilliant detail, wonderfully composed & TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Dag Lars

Missed this one. A superb shot of the iconic Tower Bridge in London, & nice to have the Union Jack flying atop it. Excellent sharpness, colour & saturation. Tfs!

emjleclercq (14113) 2009-08-18 22:55

A classic of London's pictures, but perfectly taken: well chosen point of view, excellent sharpness, and nice colors.

All the best,

Howdy Lars!
Amazing tower, wonderful famous architecture. Simply classical shot. Good capture. Very good frame. Original image.
Greetings from Warszawa!

npecanhuk (12919) 2009-08-22 7:07

Hello Lars!
This bridge impressed me more when I visited it than in photographs! It looks smaller in pictures and it's big enough to really catch my attention while looking at it or going across it!
Your picture is classical but very good, with the best level of sharpness, exposure and natural colors! Good viewpoint, a simple but truly effective composition!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

axiotea (15861) 2009-08-22 10:29

Hello Lars
I really like how you've presented the famous bridge in a very pleasant light, allowing to see clearly the details, and with a beautiful sky.
Cheers
Marilyn

gervaso (4894) 2009-08-23 14:57
