Urban Observations 24th November.

I decided to have a walk around a small part of central London.
Blackfrias Bridge to Tower Bridge and back. On the north bank first, crossing the river via the Millenium Bridge to the south side. Principally I was looking for evening shots of the city.
The wind was blowing from the east along the River Thames…It was very, very cold, gloomy with crisp clean air.
Trying out a new lens on the Nikon Z5ii, the budget Viltrox 14mm that gives an exaggerated field of view, some examples you will see below. All in all 20 reasonable photos were taken with the Nikon Z5ii, Viltrox 50mm, Viltrox 14mm & the Fuji X100vi using a small tripod when light levels were low.

The Millenium Bridge, oddly not to many people (probably the weather) looking towards St Paul’s Cathedral.
