This was my first real HDR image I've composed. This is located near London Bridge and is one of the places I work at. This was taken at 6pm on a weekday and is comprised of a whopping 78 photos to remove all the people walking thru the frame. It took me 40min to shoot and I used HDR blend mode.

There are soooo many planes flying over London, I guess it has something to do with the 5 airports located just around the city. This was a shot taken from the roof/balcony of my friends house.

After 2hrs of riding around town to find something to photograph I gave up and sat down on the board walk at Kangaroo Point. I didn't think this photo would turn out to be viewable, but it did, although it's not anything special.
