Description: "The Cheesegrater" (122 Leadenhall Street) and "The Gherkin" (30 St Mary Axe). Taken from The Monument. The rear of the Lloyd's building makes up the lower foreground. Photographer's notes: Each of the 21 frames that make up this image were taken with a Sony A33 camera and Sony 55-300 lens at 130mm. The exposure was f/6.3, 1/400s, ISO 100. The viewing platform on the Monument is covered in a wire cage with holes too small to stick a DSLR lens through. This image was only possible by hand-holding a telephoto lens aimed through the holes, which isn't ideal. The resulting stitched image was downsized to achieve an acceptable degree of sharpness.
