Illumination can be for effect…
function…
It can be Muted…
It can be to highlight a special building…
It can Advertise…
Adverts bring colour to the night time streets…
Images of London Illuminations would be incomplete without Piccadilly Circus…

Looking at your pictures, I realized how much I miss London!
-
I hope I haven’t made you homesick! Thanks for the like and the comment 🙂

Well, just thinking of London makes me homesick 🙂
But on the contrary, your pictures showed me London´s beauty and reminded me of all the reasons why I love this city so much. -
Well London does have its less beautiful bits too! Though they can be great for us photographers 😉
I’m sure that you will find much to love about your current hometown 🙂

If you see London through the eye of a camera, everything seems beautiful, doesn´t it?

Nice selection!

Thank you 🙂
Some great illumination photos Martin. I like the way you captured the 2nd one. For some reason that one really stands out as special to me.
-
Thanks Tony – I like that one too. Perhaps it’s something about the way the taxi’s are circling like sharks in the street outside 😉
Wow… you make these challenges look easy, Martin!
🙂

I have a large back-catalogue Bob so there’s usually something there to fit most challenges. And I just love going out with the camera at all times of the day / night 🙂
It’s a very illuminating gallery! Well done!
-
LoL – Thank you 🙂
Some of the other photos have some lovely artistic effects, but I love the photo of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It even captures the spotlight coming up from the ground. Perfect for the weekly photo–Illumination!
-
Thank you Debra 🙂 Of course, St.Pauls was sometimes inadvertantly illuminated by searchlights during The Blitz but this time it’s deliberate 😉 I used to work in a place called Faraday Building – The square tower on the extreme left of the image is part of that building.
Your creativity is busting out big-time.
Wonderfully imaginative shots and captions.
But I would never ever recognize Piccadilly Circus. It looks more like Times Square than like London to me!
-
Thanks Judith – I have no idea which holds precedence… This is how Piccadilly has always looked to me. But it is the only part of London that has all those illuminated ads.
