I'm currently in Londonm and with the mainly overcast skys during the day, i'm having a tough time gauging what would be good locations for sunset and sunrise (although I did luck out being at by the St. Thomas Hospital to catch a pretty decent sunset at Big Ben in between the rain). Incidently after that sunset, I was doing some night shooting and was stopped by a police officer along the walkway who said tripods were not allowed without a permit. WHen i told him i was a tourist, i had to provide him with ID and he noted my canadian residence information. Is this normal???
Would appreciate on some advice on the best lightings for some of the main landmarks. I'm working in downtown London so i really only will have time to go to places close by. I doubt if i'll have time to get out of London bcoz i decided to travel to London for the weekend in between.
