Walk round the Open University Campus 2.

The bright light on Sunday at the Open University Campus was ideal for high contrast monochrome especially when using infrared to bring out the sky details, shadows and reflections. 

Walk Around the Open University Campus 1.

On Sunday last, Jonathan and Sue led an RPS East Anglia outing to the Open University Campus at Milton Keynes and set us 8 topics - Motion, Differential Focus, Detail, Reflection, High Contrast Monochrome, Natural, Multiple Exposure and Open Choice, all in Square format. A bright sunny day and I gave my Canon converted Infra Red camera an outing. Here is a set of  'colour' images from the day (monochrome to follow) - leave you to guess the categories!

Windy Skies at Wimpole

On Saturday, we had an East Anglia RPS and CCC outing to Wimpole Hall. I suggested a few projects to try at various locations around the Park, including long exposures. It was cloudless when we set off for our walk but clouded over very rapidly at lunchtime giving lots of opportunities for cloud trails, using a 10-stop neutral density filter to give  a shutterspeed of 25 secs.  Last two images are as we left in the afternoon (having visited the inside of the Hall) when the sun started to break through the clouds again.

 

Thames at Night

I walked back across London Bridge and along the North bank of the Thames as the path remains by the river on that side, taking images wherever I could find a flat surface to rest the camera. I then crossed the Millenium Bridge and the last  4 images are taken from the top of the Tate Modern. Images are not all totally sharp as it was cold and windy and I had forgotten gloves!

Golden Light After the Rain in London

In the afternoon, when the rained stopped the light remained beautiful right through till sunset so lots of opportunities for shots along the Thames. It is amazing how the skyline changes in only a few months.
