Silhouettes Workshop

Our Cambridge Camera Club Wednesday Workshop group are meeting in Toft People's Hall most of this season, partly because of its excellent facilities including some programmable colour spotlights, which we used last night to give some interesting silhouette compositions (helped along with Lightroom colour curve adjustments etc). Thanks Paul for running it and Martin for his help with the lighting etc

CRUFC beat Plymouth Albion 34-28

Cambridge held onto their lead through the match though at one stage only a point separated the teams. I am very out of practice for sports photography so was pleased to get any photos sharp! The second image is my favourite - reminds me of the Mix-up game we had as children where you could combine random head, bodies, legs etc.

Kings Cross Outing 4. Francis Crick Institute and St Pancras

The final leg of our walk round the Kings Cross area on Saturday included a visit to the Exhibition 'Outwitting Cancer' at the Francis Crick Institute. The Exhibition gives an overview of the latest cancer research and treatments with Crick scientists. An impressive audiovisual display illustrates how people's lives  people are affected by cancer. Then it was back through St Pancras station to Kings Cross and home.

Outing to Kings Cross 3. The Environs including Nature Reserve

Our route on Saturday took us through Coal Drops Yard - now a fashionable place to shop (and hold Hen Parties), past the Gasometer apartments and Garden and then back along the Canal to the London Wildlife Trust Reserve where we were captivated by the hundreds of Ermine Moth caterpillars that had stripped the spindle trees and were descending on silk threads.

CCC King's Cross Outing 2. People

One of the challenges for me on Saturday was to take some images of people. There are so many contrasts of style of dress, professions and interests in this cosmopolitan area. My favourite is the third image with its four separate cameos. I tried being a bit more creative in photoshop separating the elements and recombing - not sure it works!!
