United Kingdom Camomile Street, London
An excellent perspective of 100 Bishopsgate, one of the underdogs in the "Leadenhall Triangle" that is home to modern classics like the Cheesegrater, Lloyds building, Scalpel, Wallis Tower, Can of Ham and Gherkin.
Photography Tips
This shot was 4 minutes with a 14mm Sigma Art on my R6 with stacked filters, a 16 stop ND and .9 Grad
Get there super early on a Saturday/Sunday (this was shot at 06:00 Saturday morning). The composition requires you to be in a very specific spot that is pedestrian heavy during normal weekday working hours.
At the weekend you still get a few workers coming and going and residual office security and maintenance staff but you can setup and shoot with a tripod no worries.
Conditions are critical, you want overcast skies and the sun needs to be low so that you dont get any hotspots and can nail the exposure.
