About this event
A very unique opportunity open to only 7 photographers!The Paddle Steamer Waverley makes a return to London this Autumn during October and we are pleased offer an exclusive trip to photographing her in the late afternoon and evening light as she makes her way from Gravesend towards Tower Bridge and the Pool of London.
Leaving
Gravesend at 14:45 we pick up with the PS Waverley as she makes her way
up the Thames Estuary, passing the QE2 Bridge. From here we continue on
up the Thames passing more of London's top riverside landmarks like the
Barrier, the Millennium Dome, Greenwich and of course the Capital's
financial center at Canary Wharf, all this before heading for the iconic
Tower Bridge. It's here where we will have the opportunity to capture
these two wonderful feats of Victorian Engineering come together with
the PS Waverley passing under the bridge not once but twice. With the
Sun setting we will retrace our steps to Gravesend allowing us to
capture further images of this wonderful paddle steamer from different
angles with London's finest landmarks as a fitting backdrop, and the
chance for some lovely autumnal evening light. Our ETA back at Gravesend
will be 19:30.
For this trip we will be
aboard a 35ft 8PAX Fast Launch capable or 30 knots, so keeping up and in
deed passing the Waverley is going to be no problem for our experienced
skipper. Anyone who has been on a previous trip will tell you that this
boat is perfect for a day on the Thames chasing any craft. She is roomy
and has an inside area, useful for storing our equipment and of course
us if the weather turns.
