Twilight Over The Clyde Arc

Twilight Over The Clyde Arc
I have just gotten back earlier this week from a trip to Glasgow and London with some new photos to share 😀

This was taken on the Clyde Arc in Glasgow. We originally set off on a evening trip to capture the night scenery along the River Clyde at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC). While waiting for twilight to arrive, we were caught more by the imposing sight of the Clyde Arc bridge instead. Twilight came a little late though since it’s summer (almost at midnight) by which time we were literally freezing in the cold! However, the final shot I got was certainly rewarding for the trouble we went through 🙂

As an aside, I last visited the same area in 2004. At the time, the Clyde Arc wasn’t even built yet!

Greetings from Glasgow, UK, where I am taking a short break before travelling down to London later this week for a conference. This was taken from the west side of Loch Lomond at Firkin Point yesterday. Typical gloomy weather, which was perfect though for such landscape pictures 🙂

This child was collecting confetti for fun with some of his friends after a parade at Universal Studios, Japan in Osaka. I was seated across the street on a bench resting my feet when I caught sight of him. The dramatic and brilliant side-lighting highlighted his actions perfectly, providing me with a natural spotlight to capture this shot.
