North Pole Fair Cambridge

We hoped to go to London on Sunday but the threatened engineering works made this a bit of a risk. We therefore spent the morning photographing umbrellas around Cambridge in the rain (to follow) and then went to the modest but colourful Fair on Parker's Piece to photograph the Ice Skating and the Fair. Here a few from the fair - being a dull day the sky rapidly went dark but still fun to play with different shutterspeeds and the effects of the strobe lighting on the rides.

Bournemouth Beach

Our internet (and phone line) have been down for 8 days so I have a couple of posts left over from the Bournemouth Airshow. These show the packed beaches on the Saturday, which was a definite taste of summer.

Christmas in Cambridge

A few images from around Cambridge on Sunday evening before we started the night shoot proper (next entry!). The fair on Parkers' Piece accompanying the ice rink is small but certainly not lacking colour.  When we first arrived in Cambridge (c3.15pm), we spent some time on the reflections in the windows on King's Parade, which gives some fascinating juxtapositions. As dusk approached, it was time for views of Trinity Hall and Kings with the tasteful Christmas lights. Then a quick session in the market before the fair and a warm drink!
