Mosses at Madingley Hall

 This winter's project is Mosses and Lichens - very much still in progress! Here a collection from Madingley Hall playing with depth of field and backlighting. The bright light reflected off the snow behind some of mosses gave interesting bokeh.

Multiple Exposures at Madingley

We visited Madingley American War Cemetery this morning and I spent some time trying different blends on my camera using the different modes and changing the White Balance and Film Simulations during a set of exposures. I think I will have to experiment using known light, dark and different coloured objects to get some idea what the finished image might look like. It is very hit and miss at the moment though I have found some here that I like!

 

Frost at Madingley War Cemetery Cambridgeshire

Frosty misty morning ideal for a trip to the American War Cemetery (decided better than waiting in the traffic queue on Madingley Hill). Decided to try photographing as much as possible into the light and pleased with the results. Last two had the camera on one of the 'advanced' settings - Soft focus.

Mist and Frost in Cambridge

Great photographic conditions for Keith's photoday in Cambridge. We started at the American War cemetery as the fog always stays longer on Madingley hill. The muted colours and misty backdrops were just right for tree photography. The fourth image is a composite of how I think the avenue should have been placed, rather than with the heavy hedge and conifers on the right side.

The mist mainly lifted in Cambridge during the day but still enough to give soft backgrounds to the river images and the frost muted all the greens - my unfavourite colour. We stayed on into the evening to do a bit of low-light photography until our hands and feet couldn't be felt!
