Trafalgar Square Fountains at Night

The fountains at Trafalgar Square look good in the day time, but at night they are fantastic. I have just got back to the hotel after a night photographing various locations around London. This is my favourite image I captured and one that I am sure will make for a nice print. Yesterday the light was overcast and dull, today wasn’t much different apart from it raining. However, at night none of this matters.

I took half a dozen photographs of the fountains, between each frame cleaning the lens with my special lens cloth, because the wind was blowing the spray on to my glass. Obviously the camera was on a tripod and for those interested I had my camera set up for a 10 second exposure time at an aperture of f/16. The focal length was 14mm because I was using my new lens that arrived on Thursday, a Sigma 10-20mm which allows very extreme (almost fish-eye like) wide angle images.
