CCC London Trip: Morning at King's Cross

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.

Toft Christmas Lights

As usual, several of the houses in Toft have decorated their exteriors with lights. I had fun using the full-spectrum Panasonic which has a 14-42 Zoom to do some zoom bursts either gradual or in steps. Some small aperture images to complete the set.

Autumn Through a Crystal Ball

The fungi are still amazing in my local wood so another sunset visit was in order. Before the sun got to desired low point, I played around with a crystal ball - not at all easy to get an in-focus image that worked! The Parasols are drying up a bit now but worth this second visit.

Photowalk in Great Chesterford

Yesterday evening we had a walk round Great Chesterford looking for some photo clues. The light wasn't very good so will return another day to complete the task. An interesting village with Roman roots and a strong Railway history.
