Saturday Morning Dogs at the Ely Market

Last Saturday (12 Feb) the Cambridge Camera Club met up in Ely for a PhotoHunt set by Sue and Myself. While the club was on its hunt I had a wander taking photos of the Saturday Street Market. After a while I realised I had a few dog pictures and I decided that this would be a good project for the day.

Margate Victorian Shelter

 Margate seafront has had a number of improvements over the last few years but there is still lots to be done. The Beautiful Victorian Shelter on Marine Drive certainly need some attention.

Margate Beach

Back at the beginning of October Sue and I travelled to Margate to visit our Son Mathew as it was Graces Birthday (Grandchild 6 of 9 'We have our own Borg collective :). We stayed over at the Premier Inn. I was a bit apprehensive about the visit from this point of view but I have to admit that Premier Inn have their Covid Organisation absolutely spot on. After breakfast Sue and I walked to Mat's house along the sea front. I don't know about you but I find the sea air most exhilarating. I had my iPhone with me and took some snaps on the walk. 

 

Foggy Day Around Haddenham (2) - In Mono

Following on from yesterdays blog, here are a few snaps in mono.

Centre Parcs - Chairs Intentional Camera Movement

I have been watching some Training Videos by Doug Chinery and Velda Bailey relating to in camera multiple exposure and intentional camera movement (ICM).

I have enjoyed creating images with ICM for quite a few years. Typically things like trees with a vertical movement and beach scenes with a horizontal movement. I have also twisted the camera.

In the video Doug suggested less extreme movement and a shorter shutter speed. So after Sue and I got back from a walk in the forest I took my camera onto the patio and 'just played'

I took about 200 photos just messing around. Many where similar, but I found that there is a skill to be leaned. Little flicks, Different Shutter Speeds, Moving in and out and not just horizontal and vertical.

Subject matter - in these shots the bright steel chair legs and patterns attracted me. After these I went into the trees and did some more - maybe another blog coming on this.

Also at the post production stage, just cropping a portion of the frame created, to me, some pleasing images.
