Description
A water taxi and some private vessels line up on Butlers Wharf on the Southbank of the Thames just east of Tower Bridge in London.
Another HDR in photoshop CS5 experiment. The blow outs are not from HDR but rather from my trusting an autoexposure on my point and shoot for a dusk shot with floodlights, i.e. they are from an original muck up. However, I quite like this effect and compared to the original it made the difference between posting and not.
If anyone is interested in how this type of HDR can be done in CS5, with a single jpeg, I would gladly post a how to next up.

I'm interested in how this works Great image
Yes please :) I like this too, blowouts and all. A lot of colors but all rather muted and complimentary. Cool image, Roxy!
Actually, I think it looks really great, Roxy! I'm a sucker for photos with some 'punch' and this one certainly has it!
Am always willing to learn something new! Glad CS5 made a difference so we could view this!
nice work Roxy!!
lovin it--your photography continues to kick major arse and take names. The textures and layers on this are incredible! Does justice to the scene and make you want to know more about it
Yes, Yes. Really beautifully composed image and the coloring and lights are nicely luminous.
Nice work!
The luminous effects and the contrast are superb,Roxy! This shows a different London. Well done.
Wow! Beautiful London Bridge picture!! Roxy-sensei
Water taxi..That would be so cool!!
Excellent capture and wonderful night scene Roxy!!!
Gorgeous capture!! (Always interested in learning something new!!)
The lighting and the spots of color on the water give it a quite unusual atmoshpere. One can´t decide whether its late afternoon or night. It makes the shot quite interesting. And it remeinds me, that I miss London, haven´t been there for years.
This is such a beautiful capture Roxie, thanks for sharing
Very beautiful, look at the color of the sea!
