Final Venue for Cambridge Night Photography

After our visit to the Fair, we walked via St Andrews Street, Sidney Street and Bridge Street to Magdalene Bridge  and back via Trinity Street etc taking long-exposure/live-composite images. Petty Cury was empty except for one person in a wheel chair and a lot of rubbish bags. Yaseen Uasyf asked for some photos of himself on the bridge.

Polar Fair in Cambridge

Our second venue for night photography in Cambridge on Sunday was the Polar Fair - very busy generally but found a few quieter spots to record the kaleidoscope of colours and shapes. Last couple moving the camera during Live Composite mode (ie camera is taking 1sec exposure continuously - I don't think it records how many shots)

Hunstanton Taster

The RPS Nature group spent a very enjpyable day photographing on the beach at Hunstanton as the tide dropped and then in the afternoon started to come ie. We followed the tide line watching the waders etc feed on the mussel beds. A lot of photos to download and sort but here two - Black-tailed Godwit and Curlew, together with some night shots taken yesterday evening. More birds to follow when sorted!!

Museum of Modern Art and Evening on the Clyde

Having walked around the district containing the Mackintosh School of Art (sadly still under wrapping during its reconstruction after the fire), we walked back via George Square and went into the Museum of Modern Art - a very narrow museum built off a traditional staircase. For the evening shots last night, I was using the Olympus Live Composite mode which shoots a series of images using the same exposure time, with each shot only recording new sources of light – and then composites them in-camera.

Sunset Walk Along Clyde

I walked along the south bank of the Clyde from our Travelodge, recording the changes in light and colour as the sun set. For the walk back along the north bank, most of the light had left the sky giving long exposures and great reflections.
