Shadows and Silhouettes Cambridge

The low bright sunlight this morning in Rose Crescent and Magdalene Street in Cambridge this morning was throwing people and bikes etc into bold silhouettes with strong shadows. Very difficult to capture in photographs but here is a flavour of the scenes.

Rainy Cambridge

Cambridge was the answer to a recent query 'in which City centre in England can you see cows grazing?' Add to this hay bales and it is a good description of Cambridge at the moment. Saturday was very wet and I felt the need for a bit of umbrella therapy. Although a lot less busy than a sunny day punting was continuing even if it meant looking like ghosts in their plastic wraps. It was Cambridge's Out of the Ordinary Festival which should have meant the streets etc were full of performers. Many were moved inside but this quartet continued around the City to the obvious amusement of shoppers.

Evening Visit to Cambridge

A group from the Cambridge CC met up for a stroll round the city last night and I took along the Full-spectrum converted camera for a change of view. The resolution of the camera is not great but I do like the muted colours and soft feel to the images . Interesting to see a large number of people sketching along King's Parade - I believe this is an open monthly event. 

M-Shed Bristol

I enjoyed a visit to the M-shed  in Bristol with its innovative internal architecture and great displays illustrating Bristol's people and places. I played around with multiple exposure which worked well with the bright colours and open staircases

London Theatre Visit

Some images taken on our walk back to King's Cross station after watching the Lion King at the Lycaeum Theatre yesterday - thanks Jane for a great birthday present!
