Storm Franklin Winds

A very windy walk this  morning - not easy to show wind pictorially other than its effects on coastal waters. First attempt - hopefully not too many more occasions to perfect it!!

Autumn Colours at Santon Downham 1

Perhaps due to the lack of frost, it has not been a great year for autumn colours with a lot of leaves shrivelling before falling but there were enough colourful trees at Santon Downham to keep our small party from CCC happy playing with ICM and Multiple exposure. I used two different camera systems - the morning set here were handheld with the Fuji X100V which has the facility to take multiple exposure and to change blending modes. Most of these are only 2 exposures in Average mode - for instance, the first image has one out of focus image blended with an in-focus image. Images 3 and 6 have a colour temperature change between exposures etc!

Colours of Autumn

We had a very enjoyable walk with Jonathan round RSPB Sandy woods and heathland. I decided to play with the autumn colours using multiple exposure in camera - here are a few of the results from the vibrant compositions of beech leaves, grasses and bark to the monochromatic images in the pine woods.

West Cambridge Site

11 members of Cambridge Camera Club met yesterday evening for a wander round the West Cambridge Site, which is dominated by the Schlumberger Building, here lit up as we finished our trip. It is a Grade II* Listed building by Michael Hopkins Architects opened in 1992. I mainly concentrated on multiple exposure shots as the light was very dull on a particularly grey day. I intend a return visit fairly soon as planning permission has just been approved for a complete makeover for the site with many new buildings including Cavendish III Laboratory (West Cambridge |)

 

Night-time Multiples

Setting the blend mode to additive allows an image to be built up adding lighter areas to shadow parts. Here a few experiments after dark in Toft. The last images show how well the in-camera stabilisation in my small Fuji X100V works - taken at 1/8 or 1/4 second. 

Day of the Triffids at Botanic Gardens

A session of Multiple Exposures with my Fuji at the Botanic Gardens!
