Final Venue for Cambridge Night Photography

After our visit to the Fair, we walked via St Andrews Street, Sidney Street and Bridge Street to Magdalene Bridge  and back via Trinity Street etc taking long-exposure/live-composite images. Petty Cury was empty except for one person in a wheel chair and a lot of rubbish bags. Yaseen Uasyf asked for some photos of himself on the bridge.

Polar Fair in Cambridge

Our second venue for night photography in Cambridge on Sunday was the Polar Fair - very busy generally but found a few quieter spots to record the kaleidoscope of colours and shapes. Last couple moving the camera during Live Composite mode (ie camera is taking 1sec exposure continuously - I don't think it records how many shots)

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. 

Early Morning Sharpenhoe

I was interested in the effect of shade, cloud and direct sunlight on the colours and appeal of images. Clouds covered the sun when we arrived at Sharpenhoe yesterday morning but these cleared as the sun came above the ridge. All single shots except image 10 which is a focus stack of 10 images.

River Thames Lights

 We walked the Thames path from the Arsenal to the Ferry a couple of evenings photographing the Ferry and the lights of Canary Wharf.
