Hills Road Cambridge 2001/2020 Pubs and Offices

Both the pubs that I photographed in 2001 have changed their names and useage and many of the Offices were extensively modernised - only recognisable by their position. Just a few houses nad listed building remain largely unaltered including one entrance that even had the same plants growing around it.

Hills Road Cambridge 2001/2020. Shops

Between 2001 and 2004, Members of Cambridge Camera Club took images of many of the building in Cambridge. I had Hills Road as one of my areas and today returned to repeat the shots. Here are changes in the shops - the only one remaining from 2001, Cambridge International Book Centre has recently closed. 

The Community Gardens

I have always enjoyed looking round allotments - I think it is the contrast of the orderliness versus the chaos that you get there with the different owners. I tried many different processing styles (all in Lightroom) and ended up with  this one with split toning and selective colour changes to unify the set.

 

Club Outing toTrumpington Meadows

Trumpington Meadows was invaded by a group of around 20 photographers (plus 3 dogs) yesterday for a socially distanced explore of the area. The river and Byron's Pool itself attracted several Members (including the dogs). I concentrated on landscapes and the remaining wild flowers trying some of the techniques that we covered in last week's workshop on the softer side of photography. There was still some wildlife to photograph including a wasp spider and Southern Hawker.
