Great shots!

But I thought that the Eurostar service has moved from Waterloo station
to St. Pancras as of November of last year?

Now some people will think it takes two, and a certain American vice president will say "Of course!" and spell it "photoes". :shakehead Did you notice the subject of your post? Anyway, I'm still wondering what a "stablazied mount" is.

Incredible photos. How did he get them so noise-free and vivid with no car movement (eg, pic 6)?

The 'stablazied mount' is more than likely a gyroscopic camera mount.

Definition:
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] A mount that uses a floating suspension and a motor-driven gyroscope to keep a motion picture or still camera at a set angle even though the camera is mounted in a place that subjects it to heavy vibrations, such as in an airplane or a vehicle traveling over rough terrain.

And he could have placed it on a rock-steady tripod on a building to get rid of the camera shake, but how'd he take a fast shutter speed photo (with no moving car motion blur) with such clarity? That must be some camera.

Thanks all.

It actually does in dutch.... but then you'd write it with an f instead of ph

Very nice work.

Reminds me of a B&W aerial photograph of a city (London?) by Harold Edgerton, taken with a single strobe flash (is that a cool thing for CPF or what!!!) from a bomber during WWII to test the capabilities of reconnaissance photography. Amazing detail and probably from a very large film format, but that was more than 60 years ago. Pretty interesting inventor and photographer.

If only it looked so nice during the day. From ground level...
