Jesus College - Sculpture in the Close

Last Thursday I met up with Ann and Jane, friends from the camera club, in Jesus Lane to visit the 'Sculpture in the Close 2017' contemporary sculpture exhibition in Jesus College.  When I was a boy I attended Park Strret Primary School and walked passed this college every school day and as this is one college I have never visited, so I was looking forward to going in. The exhibition is an annual event and I would throughly recommend you going next year. Some of the sculptures are permanent at the college.

BARLOW – BOURGEOIS – HATOUM – HOUSHIARY– LIM – PARKER – THURNAUER – WHITEREAD – WILDING

With an all-female line-up of exceptional artists, the exhibition marks the fifteenth outdoor sculpture exhibition in the grounds of Jesus College. 

My favourite sculpture was a collection of stacked chairs by Phyllida Barlow. If you follow the link above you will see the description of the sculptures. I really like to take photographs of sculptures and trying to find my own take on other peoples artwork. 

This is the first of two blogs. 

Street Photography, Ely Market, Bank Holiday Sunday

August Bank Holiday in Ely. A bit of street photography around the International Food Market. 'Shooting from the hip' - actually from the chest, a technique I learned from a friend, John Bulpitt.

1. 40mm full frame equivalent focal length, (i.e. 20mm on the Olympus OMD E-m1 mkii)
2. f/8 and above
3. Pre focus about 5 meters away in front of me
4. Camera round neck
5. Thumb on shutter release

Most shots are cropped to correct camera angle. I got about 10% success rate, i.e. in focus and no camera shake. This blog represents the photos I like.
