Report - Providence Tower, London (April-July 2015)

[mdk]

Hi everyone,

This is my first report on here (so please let me know if I'm breaking any rules or anything!)

Providence Tower is a 44 storey tower near Canary Wharf, still under construction though I believe it's meant to be completed by September this year. Absolutely incredible views of the Thames, Canary Wharf, the Olympic stadium in the distance, and the rest of the city up there.

I've made my way to the roof 4/5 times over the past few months now, they've very nearly completed the exterior walls all the way to the top so be quick if you're looking to explore! Entry is piss easy

This is a compilation of some of the shots I've captured up there over the past few months (apologies for not shooting more angles than this - I'm a little too picky about my shots):

Photography equipment I use - for anyone interested:
Nikon D610
Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 OS
Sigma 15mm f/2.8
Sigma 20-40 f/2.8
Sigma 35mm f/1.4
GoPro Hero 3

July 2015, explored with a friend - we'll be publishing a few reports together:

The above shot is a screenshot from my GoPro (are videos allowed?) I have compiled a 1m20s video with music from my most recent visit with a friend... if it's okay i'll add it afterwards.


EDIT: Removed watermarks and toned down on the saturation (Sorry, as a landscape + cityscape photographer my post-processing is usually quite colourful and vibrant )

Good effort, it sure is a nice tower. Although don't dig the processing or watermark.

As far as first reports go I think you've done pretty well here. Some nice shots although perhaps a bit OTT on the saturation in places, I still like most of them though

Some fantastic shots in there man, lose the watermark maybe but apart from that, nice little write up welcome

 

[slayaaaa]

Proccessing is not great really but otherwise your pictures would be proper nice.
However that last picture is sick
Did you see the fox on the stairs?

 

[The_Raw]

Whatever you've changed has got rid of your pics mate, was fine beforehand.

Cheers for the positive feedback + criticisms everyone!

Raw, the photos should be back up now... have toned down on the saturation and got rid of the watermarks (sorry, as a hobbyist landscape + cityscape photographer I have a habit of making my post-processing quite colourful and vibrant!)
