    Abandoned London

    Dunno if this has been posted already, but:

    Abandoned London...

    A couple of years ago I had the idea that it might be fun to take photos of London without humans - yes, I was motivated by that scene in Westminster from 28 Days Later. Unfortunately, not being a film director I was not really in the position to have half of London sealed off for photos - but realised that on Xmas morning there could be an opportunity.

    Actually I remember reading that the director of 28 Days Later had no budget to block roads off so had to do just what this bloke and shoot very early in the morning to avoid anyone in the shot.

    The film DID have a small budget. After all, part of the M1 was temperarrily closed and they did a couple of london roads but their money was very minimum.
    You are right about the times tho.

    The shots in the city were done at 4 am in the summer so there was no one about.
    It is well worth watching the extra bit on the DVD )

    I like the pic tho ;o)
