Sunset Walk Along Clyde

I walked along the south bank of the Clyde from our Travelodge, recording the changes in light and colour as the sun set. For the walk back along the north bank, most of the light had left the sky giving long exposures and great reflections.

The Painted Church Cambridge

As part of our Documenting Cambridge project ( Public Home Page), I spent a couple of hours at the 'Painted Church' in Cambridge yesterday morning lit by beautiful autumn sunlight. I only had a compact single focal length camera with me so these are planning shots for a later in depth visit. All Saints' was built by the architect George Frederick Bodley between 1863 and 1870 and is a notable example of English Gothic Revival style, both for its exceptional hand painted walls and for the spectacular stained glass.The wall and ceiling decorations were applied by F. R. Leach & Sons and form complex, bold stencilled patterns throughout the church. The east window was designed by Edward Burne-Jones. 

Botanic Garden challenges

 We had a good turnout for our camera club trip to Cambridge Botanic Gardens and generally kept the public amused with our various antics while fulfilling five challenges - Contrast, Close up, Colour, Movement and Creative. Here are two attempts each at the subjects.

Southwold Evening Shots

Monday evening after dinner in Southwold, we visited the beach for sunset and the last colour in the reflections and in the sky, not forgetting a few shots of the Pier and Beach huts.

Strawberry Fair Cambridge

The overcast skies and strong northerly wind didn't deter people from attending the Annual Strawberry Fair in Cambridge , a volunteer-organised event that raises money for charities as well as giving a platform for local performers and artists. Certainly the place to go to buy and display colourful clothing and accessories. Just a shame the sun didn't shine for the event to add that sparkle to the scene. This is the owner of shoopdooplondon proud to show off his wares.
