Europe Trip - London - Day 2 (Part 9)

the millenium bridge was opened in june 2000 and closed 3 days later when it was found to wobble alot, the problem was eventually rectified. according to an interview with the designer, he says there is nothing wrong with the bridge, just the way people walk... hmm?...

if you look at the far end of the millennium bridge, you'll see the dome of the st paul's cathedral

Tilt & Shift Effect

This is my first attempt at a tilt & shift effect. This picture is taken from the 13th flr of my HDB flat. To see some really good shots using a TS-E lens, see this site from Vincent Laforet from the New York Times.
