Nightscape The Thames at Night

[Alan Clark]

These photogtraphs were taken between the Millenium and Tower bridges and are all hand held.
Many night photos that we see on the internet suffer from black, featureless shadows, but this is completely avoidable. Digital cameras have a huge dynamic range and can contain plenty of shadow detail which can be brought out in post processing. To do so, I use ON1's Tone Enhacer filter, setting the Compression slider to the maximum value.

In my way of looking at these I have to say that you have got a good collection of shots which would look good on the wall.
I would really look at getting a few of these printed up to hang in your house. Even if you can try to sell a few copies.
