My shutter has opened and closed this month 40 times in total. In terms of "scenes" i have shot this month i would say it was probably about 5-6 unique scenes on my memory card. Reason - been way to busy to shoot stuff with moving to london, so last night i kinda went into a panich mode because i wanted to submit something for the free study as i am taking part in the FSM and didnt want my busy life to negate the cumulative efforts of the year in the FSM. So i decided to go for the easiest "eye candy" type shot london could provide me in my short time after work.
This is the result. Didnt get the exposure so you could read the time on the clock, but hopefully that wont matter too much. Love how the bridge came out, definitely worth a second visit to get it right. Also this wasnt with a tripod either - put the camera on the wall and used bits of paper to prop it up.
