The London Eye - Fish Eye

New Year's Day on the London Eye

On New Year's Day, the weather forecast was so good that I booked three trips on the London Eye. The first trip was just after 10 in the morning, when the Eye begins to operate. The second trip began at about 3.30 pm,  just before sunset (4.02 pm), and the third trip was after dark (beginning about 6.40 pm). This is a selection of the pictures I took.

The London Eye Illusion

This is one of my oldest pictures and one of my favourites.
Canon EOS 500D with Canon 18-55mm lens at 55mm. 1/4 at f/5.6, ISO 3200.

When I took this picture earlier this year I sent it to Richard Gregory, the British psychologist famous for his work on visual perception, especially illusions. He thought it was delightful. Sadly, Prof. Gregory died in May this year.
