This is the remarkable Adams Plaza Bridge in the Canary Wharf area of London. I took this shot at 6:30 in the morning so I wouldn't have to deal with lots of pedestrians. I used a 16-35mm lens set to 16mm to exaggerate the perspective of the bold graphic design and the wild pattern of color. My settings were 1/100, f/5.0, and 2000 ISO. When photographing symmetry, particularly with architecture, it's essential to position yourself dead center on the subject. If you are just a little off-center, horizontal and vertical lines in the composition become skewed. It amazes me that so many photographers either forget this or have a hard time finding the precise midpoint from which to shoot.
