Four members of CCC visited the Sainsbury Centre for Arts at Norwich UEA yesterday to view the Exhibition of Bill Brandt and Henry Moore's work. A very interesting exhibition showing the friendship and mutual inspiration of the two artists through the war years and beyond. The exhibition and the surrounding are very monochromatic so I spent a little time at the end injecting colour into the surrounding with multiple exposure and then continued this in the afternoon around the campus.

The Blue Hours in Cambridge Sidgwick Site

Fifteen Members of Cambridge Camera Club met for an evening photography session around the modern buildings on the Sidgwick site. I decided to have a go at multiple exposures with different Blend modes and changing the White Balance between shots. Here are some of my favourites.

 

CCC Outing to Grantchester

Eighteen members of our camera club met up for a walk along the river in Grantchester. I travelled light with just my X100V compact and a closeup filter. I wanted to capture the abundant Banded Demoiselles and Mayflies in their habitat as with images 3-5 but I also took some at wide aperture that needed focus stacking to complete. 

As the Fuji does complicated multiexposure, I also played around with that using different blending modes and some intentional camera movement.

 

Playing with Multiple Exposures

A dull cloudy day - no interesting light to play with so decided on Multiple Exposure mode. The blend mode is set to Dark so figures etc in black with tend to come forward in the composite giving some quite convincing images like the first one here. Very apposite for our times, the lady in the third ME has been given a mask during the blending of images. The last two use two different film types for the two images (sepia and monochrome).

London - Rebuilding Docklands Area

Because my childhood was spent exploring all the docks from Woolwich up to the City, I am drawn back to these areas, especially as there is now noone alive that knew me from then - the river is perhaps my substitute family history. Here a few images as multiples of the rebuilding of the area. The first image shows the last remaining Tower Hamlets Flats (soon to be demolished) and replacement blocks; the second the Wharf Cranes such fun to climb in a previous era surrounded by modern buildings. The area of the Travelodge is being developed with business parks, full of gardens,water features and statues.
