Nice images, how did you cope with the reflections?
I found the lower level of the viewing deck almost unusable due to the 2 layers of glass, even polariser didn't help.
Thanks! Most of the images I took ended up being heavily messed up by the reflections and glare from the glass. Those observations decks worldwide while all nice, suffer from the same problem - lack of regard for photographers, what with the heavy glass, multiple light sources on the inside reflecting off of said glass, tripod restrictions, and so on... Sadly, the Shard is no exception.
Most of my pics from there had to be discarded as unsalvageable. The few that survived had to be fixed in Lightroom and Photoshop. The reflections in the portions with the sky were easy enough to correct, but quite a few shots were ruined by reflections in busy parts of the city, and had to be abandoned. There was no other way.
