I think that was im in the basket. Getting up close and personal.

Looking at your previous attempts photos I'd suggest that even from that range you'd somehow manage to miss the Shard old chap...

To close this thread off...

Thank You.

Mercuty City Tower is now the tallest building in Europe. And it's also fugly, like the Shard.

Thats in Russia right?

So the Shard is still the tallest in Western Europe and the EU yes?

Crikey...wind erosion has got to the shard a bit quick.

Trouble is, I will have to stand in the middle of a relatively busy rat run to get the best angle.

Remember, if it takes many-many attempts then thats just the demands of the art.

I'd suggest lying down whilst wearing dark, almost tarmac-like colours to counter the glare.

That 2nd picture is boolox blib...I can't see the shard at all.

It's planned to open in February.

It's as plain to see as the curfew tag on your ankle, im.

The only thing deserving of one of Her Majestys ankle bracelets around these parts is the fraudulent descriptions you offer of your "pictures".

[im]

Yes please.

Blib...thats pictures from the top of the Shard please, not a passing bus, Post Office Tower, Random Step Ladder etc....

Virtual pint for the first intrepid photographer who gets the Shard clad in snow!

How's that gonna work exactly...you know....what with the Shard being a steep slope on all sides......"sticky snow"?

Puggit said:

If the required blizzard doesn't materialise, just photoshop it

So fake a picture in order to claim the reward of a fake pint?

Righto - Stand back, I think I hear a stampede.

My O/H went up the Shard yesterday.

[im]

Blib said:

I dunno when I'll be able to spare the time to get over there.

Blib! Blib! There's rush fella, no really...the buildings gonna be around for hundreds of years.

Take your time chap, make sure you've saved up and bought all of the technical gadgetry your level of expertise demands before rushing headlong down to the riverside.

And should that take...what...5, 10...even 15 years then we'll wait...oh yes...you simply can't rush a potential masterpiece my friend.
