Light Painting Toft Photogroup

My favourite image from Toft Photogroup yesterday evening was the bottles and glasses lit by glow sticks and UV torch but there were some close runners up with the fairy lights etc

Light Painting

Some images taken at last night's CCC Wednesday Workshop meeting. The rotating bicycle wheel and the 'Christman Tree' worked particularly well as did the lit silhouettes of Charles and Barry. 

 

Light Painting with Finger Lights

We found a box of finger lights forgotten from a previous project and the girls had great fun dancing and drawing with them. Sadie, as expected, was quite precise with her drawing - I like the two swans in the third image; Meredith was much more flambouyant. Single flash during5 second exposure.

 

Cambridge Fireworks Plus Wind, Rain and Zoom Lens

The forecast had 'promised' rain at 7pm and, yes, as the display started so did the rain. It was difficult to keep the lens dry but, in some cases, I felt it added to the compositions. There was a fairly brisk breeze and, for some shots, I also zoomed my lens holding the wide or narrow position for a couple of seconds. (24-70mm equiv, iso 800, f11-f22, 1 sec to 7 secs)

 

Strange Happenings at Foxton Recreation and Cricket Club Grounds

Cambridge Camera Club's Wednesday Workshop recorded some very strange visiting creatures last night that crawled, looped and spun across the pitch. Chris got himself illuminated (no Presidents were harmed in this event) and Martin and Paul send sparks flying around the Skateboard park. Last photo demonstrates the powerful light from the moon just off the frame left of centre.
