Autumn/winter in London is my favourite time of the year because with not much leaves left you can see all the small birds well :D
I also like the winter light as it can give some really nice colours on water.
Yesterday it was pretty cold as some part of the pound was frozen.

Here are some photos taken yesterday afternoon. Pity it starts to get dark after 3pm.

Some seagulls standing on ice:

Those are great photos Olly. The colours on the water are awesome.

Thank you :)
I too love the colours of the water reflecting the vegetation there. Another good place for taking that kind of photos is at Saint James' s Park on the side of Buckingham Palace.

I added more photos :)

There is some noise in the full size photo but it is nothing. It is like a D200 at 800 ISO. I am in Strasbourg (East of France) for a week and I have already been taking night photos of the Christmas markets there. Even at 12000 ISO it is really not bad and very useable. With some noise reduction softwares I believe it is possible to make the photos very clear.
What is good is I can take photos without a tripod and that is very nice considering the crowd visiting the markets.
