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.

View from the Emirates Airline cable car after dark©

London sunset, seen from the Emirates Airline cable car

I've been meaning to take my camera onto the Emirates Airline cable car for a while now, but during the Olympics/Paralympics period there were a huge number of people travelling on the system, which made it difficult to get clear shots through the windows without annoying other passengers. Also, the weather was often rather poor during my free time.

On the afternoon of the 18th September I noticed that the sky was clearing, and I decided to head down to Greenwich just before sunset. Hardly anyone was boarding the cable car and I was able to make four round trips with a carriage to myself. Even so, the journey does pose a challenge for photography. The biggest challenge was trying to avoid reflections from the windows in the carriage. As the sun gradually disappears you are also forced to use slower shutter speeds, which would be fine if you are able to keep the camera still but in an occasionally bumpy carriage is not always possible. In a separate blog I will post some pictures I took once the sun had gone down and the city's lights came on - both of the challenges above were magnified considerably during this period!
