Big Ben in London. The Thames is on the other side of the clock, and I'm in a little courtyard using a Gorillapod. This was my first time having the camera vertically oriented with that little flexible tripod. I tested out a few different exposure lengths with varying success. 2-seconds produced a brighter building and sky, but then too much light came through the clock-face and you couldn't see any of the intricate web-like lines in the glass there. So, I settled with a 1-second exposure, resulting in a less-bright overall building that showed a little more detail. As always, this is unedited.
