Wet Evening on Riverside

Only  Malcom (with a very clever tripod umbrella clamp), Paul (with his fancy torch), and I braved the fairly heavy rain for last night's Wednesday workshop at Riverside in Cambridge. Certainly no chance of star trails!! I used a fish eye and then a 18-55mm lens (different star burst effects), neither of which have an adequate hood but here are a few shots that I liked including one of several boats exercising up and down the river.

 

Fisheye Fungi

This year's wet autumn weather is fantastic for fungi. We have lots in the garden and in the fields around the village. These taken with a Canon15mm fisheye on a Fuji body so always set wide open at f2.8 - probably not that useful but I do like the inclusion of the out of focus background

Norway - Myrland Peninsular

The sun came out briefly on Monday afternoon giving different light to work with. Had fun with the 8mm Fish-eye - needs a bit more correction than I can do in Lightroom Raw. A bit of a play with B/W - will look forward to processing in Silver Efex when back.
