Thames Path: Woolwich to North Greenwich

On Saturday mornning, we walked through Woolwich and out on the Woolwich Route where my Aunt's used to live now all demolished and at the moment in the midst of a whole new building phase. We then went down onto the Thames path and walked along as far as the O2 dome, taking images as we went. I was using Sony RX100 which has been converted for IR photography, which has brought out  great detail in the skies and ironwork

Southend Before the Storm

I took a walk along the front at Southend before giving a talk at Hadleigh Camera Club - always a difficult location to photograph with the mile-long pier but some late sunshine and impressive skies prior to a very violent rainstorm later helped the compositions. I couldn't resist the new versus old toilets or the rather starling moulting from fluffy juvenile to resplendent spotted winter adult.

Favourite Walk Toft to Hardwick Wood and Caldecote Church

 Some images from my favourite local walk - one I do at least once a week from Toft towards Hardwick then down to the Brook, up to Frog Hall, along to Hardwick wood, round to Caldecote Church and back to Toft. It changes so dramatically through the seasons (see Ann Miles Blog: Favourite Local Walk (pin-sharp.blogspot.com) for a September view)

Cambridge Night-time Photography

 Some images taken on my walk back to the car on Wednesday - most officially night-time photography i.e. more than an hour after sunset when all light has left the sky except the moonlight, which was strong at full moon. Exposures 10sec f14 to 40secs f4 for last King's College shot. (No denoise or sharpening applied)

90 Minutes in Cambridge

In total I spent 3 hours in Cambridge yesterday photographing as the sun set and then into night conditions. Here a set of images taken in the 'blue hour' (actually 90minutes) as the daytime colours change to night.
