On a bit of a shooting spree lately, with myself, Jena and Kevin all frequenting Tower Bridge and the surrounding area to capture some more shots, especially to exploit the dusk blue sky.I must say, while we were on the apparently privately run, but publicly accessible, docks around Tower Bridge, we were accosted several times and told we couldn't use our tripods. The gentleman informing us was perfectly civil and just doing his job, but I cannot fathom any reason why a tripod cannot be used in an area where the general public and tourists amble through all day every day, to say nothing of the fact that we were photographing landmarks over which no one has a monopoly. It seemed rather pointless and petty to us, and so we defied the odds and still managed a few tripod-mounted shots! For the shots below, I used mainly the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8, and my Nikkors 35mm and 50mm primes. I also took a few shots with my phone.

Jena always has great compositional ideas, and here she's lining up a terrific shot.

This was Jena's idea, to use the bridge girders as a frame.

Awesome shots..so many that would have like to of commented on individually AW especially Tower Bridge with the rings..brilliant and the fountain where you have taken the shot of Tower bridge through the water..brilliant set, most of these I have taken in daylight, so what a contrast...superb!

as always, your evening photography is awesome, but of this group my fav is actually the HDR alley...nice hdr work, not overdone at all (which one see alot these days). It makes for an awesome abstract.
