Fourteen members of Cambridge Camera Club visited London with the main objective, night-time photography along the Thames staying overnight in Southwark. The morning was free choice but most people visited the Granary Square and Canal area behind King's Cross. Here the light installation in the Square behind the coal Drops Yard with two comparison images of the area back to 5 years ago when they were converting the Gasometers to residential apartments and none of the other buildings were there. Colour coordination was everywhere but this couple with their dog in knitted coat were the best example. The Gasometer Park with its mirrors is always a draw for the camera and otherwise I played around with LiveComposite mode on the Olympus (takes continuous timed exposures in light blend mode) and multiple exposure with the Fuji using Dark mode - I find this technique very compulsive as you can build up Escher-like images where slopes etc lead you through fantasy worlds.
