Thames River, St Paul's Cathedral, London.

Back to my comfort zone :)
This is the last shot in series when I took a walk along the river on Thames Festival event. My personal favourite in the series is this one. Another two - (this and that) - became quite popular on Flickr.

DRI - Digital Blending - manually - 4xp. I did not like HDR version.

View LARGE.

News: What do you do if there is no proper group for your photos? (Well if there is only one dead more than a year ago). Create a new one! Welcome to DRI group - all about you DRI (Dynamic Range Increase) photos. 50 outstanding works (works, not snapshots) in just 3 days, 15 members. Not that bad for a start I think.
