Urban Mist - a photo on Flickriver

Urban Mist

            I am seldom in London in the early part of the day when we are most likely to have fog so I was fortunate to catch the conditions on this day. The morning I took this it was actually more low hanging moist clouds than actual fog but the effect the mist produces can work to bring depth into an image. 

This was taken the same day as the previous image I posted and again it was taken while standing on Vauxhall Bridge. I've always liked these buildings, part of the St George Wharf development, that sit on the south bank of the river which I always feel have an oriental feel to them and I've shot them many times before but never with any great success so I was delighted to get this. 

A little note on the vagaries and luck involved in photography: I took two images of this view - after clicking the shutter the first time and with my eye still looking through the viewfinder this gull came into view so I quickly clicked again. It is extraordinary the difference in how the image "feels" with the gull in it as opposed to without.
