Our group of photographers kept the very crowded Mill Lane Bridge visitors entertained as we explored slow shutterspeed photography. I was given a very accurate lesson from a young boy from India who knew all about shutterspeeds and how to get the best result on his iphone - the new generation of photographers. There is more experimentation to do on applying the techniques to punting but enjoyed the session. We then transferred to the completely deserted Sidgwick site for some architectural work.

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.

Hoylake 12th February: Wader Flocks in Slow Motion
Bright sunshine and clear skies greeted us on arrival at Hoylake on Monday so, just to be contrary, I chose a slower shutterspeed (1/125th and 1/50th) to try panning the large groups of waders. Because they move at different speeds and directions, the results are very random but I did achieve one or two that I like. I got a bit finger happy with manipulation for the second photo creating a wonderful flight of Kingfishers! Some straighter shots plus a panorama to show the huge extent of the wader flocks.

Exploring Movement at Welney
I wanted to try to get a feel for the excitement of the flight of the large flock of Black-tailed Godwit and the frenzy when the ducks etc are fed at midday at Welney. I used a slow shutterspeed (15th to 50th/sec) and achieved a few images that came near to meeting my previsualisation.
