Description
Big City Life, yes, I guess we've all or will at some point experience what it's all about in the industrial world we today live in.Is it good or bad? I don't know, all I know is that to take on the present instead of living in the future can be harsh and very stressful.
Try relax, keep things simple. Don't waste the time you have on things not worth it.

I always have the problem of "noise" with night shots how did you get this crystal clear without noise?! and which cam u used? Please share... did u expose it for more time with less ISO? or any other settings that you use for this night shot? please share.

I forgot to add the info, sorry. Now it's added. Camera is set to custom whitebalance, always whitebalance in location light. Then I usually run a custom setting similar to "Landscape" as a mode.

I think I've seen that place before, useally with thousands of people rushing by in their efforts to be on time. I'm very impressed you managed to capture this without anyone wondering into shot. The blur of the cars racing passed is a lovely metephor for the sheer speed of things in the big city. They never seem to stop at any point in these sorts of places. I love the angle of this, if seems to fit the faintly crazy edge of a big city.
Big city life, is it good or bad? That's hard to say, but I do know that people in the city find it hard to rest. There's just something about the place that makes you feel like you should be going faster. As if you must try and keep up or be ahead of everyone else you see. I think this is what puts me off the thought of living in a big city for any period of time.
But there is nothing quite like it. The speed, the excitment, the chance to see so much in such a small area, the knowledge you can find anything there because so many people bring things with them, it all mixes here.

It was harder than I thought to capture a good evening shot in central of London. I didn't want all that too easy setup for myself either. I got a couple more shots that'll come up. Especially a very (I think) cool way to shoot Mr. Big Ben in a fresh way and not the tourist-way

Great shot, perspective is different, and eye catching. I agree with Andreas on the handrail at the bottom though.

Very nice, but the handrail at the bottom distracts a little.

Thanks. Yea I had my mind about that torn last night as well.
Not sure on if I should keep it or now, I kinda liked how the bent shape there came up in the composition.
Chers
