Info I won a free ticket for The View from The Shard last Sunday. The weather was overcast grey all day but at sunset the sun popped out from the clouds and lit up some of the city. This view east takes in Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf, which is London's second financial district. At 244m it is high enough to see the river Thames snake around. Photography conditions aren't great with tripods banned and dirty windows that reflect white pillars. So a polarising lens made the sunset exposure even longer at 1/6s, handheld. The view is similar to what we see from drones, though no private drone would be permitted here. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 18:39, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Neutral I know it would be unfair to oppose given my last drones shot. But as you said, the quality is a bit low, and the lighting doesn't give that special touch to this shot. It's even rather dull if you ask me. I wouldn't have used a polarising filter, but of those flexible hoods you attach to your lens and then stick to the window. This is very good at removing reflections. - Benh (talk) 19:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Low quality, strong noise, details loss, plane colors --Wilfredor (talk) 19:57, 28 September 2019 (UTC)- Support Nice for me, the light isn't a dramatic sunset but it's pretty in its way. Cmao20 (talk) 23:17, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Weak quality, boring light -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:29, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose A possible FP, but not detailed enough --Michielverbeek (talk) 07:41, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose per Basile. I don't blame you for trying on this one, but the city just looks so old and tired out here (which, given recent events, is probably how it feels). I wonder how this angle would work for a sunrise (especially on that day, the equinox), if you could possibly get there. Daniel Case (talk) 20:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Low quality, blurry. -- Pofka (talk) 10:00, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
