Waking up before dawn / Waterloo Bridge / London

Check it out on black or at 1280 x 850 pixel really, do it! :-)

About this shot
Scott Wilson and I agreed to shoot the dawn together on saturday morning, after our friday night hardcore photography adventures. Easier said than done!

The sun would come up at 6:24, so I was in the tube around 6:15 - way too late - but hey, I came home after midnight and I even made two back-ups of my shots before going to sleep (yes, Scott Kelby taught me, rightly so!) I already got messages from (the other) Scott who was up and running somewhere along the Thames.

Anyway, I got out of the tube at Waterloo Station to witness a hazy saturday morning and - of course - no sun(rise) in sight! Argh, such a shame. We met halfway Waterloo bridge (above) and had a great morning anyway hunting for coffee, shooting St. Pauls, the gherkin, a session in Steelyard Passage and ending our fun 24h get together at The British Museum.
