During the Cambridge Camera Club Visit to the Grafton Centre recently I had a play with in camera multiple exposure but with moving the camera just a bit between each frame. I seem to remember Doug Chinery calling this ME Burst Mode when I attended one of his excellent courses. Both Dark (the first four) and Bright Mode (the last two) used on my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera
Intensional Movement
Another set of images from the early December Camera Club Wednesday Workshop down the at dusk. I was shooting to capture the essence of walking.
Evening Shots with the Canon Fisheye Lens
Back at the beginning of December (the 7th) Our Paul from the camera club organised a evening walk around Cambridge at dusk. As I said in my last blog post I had two projects in mind. This is the second of those projects. Using the Canon 8mm-15mm Fisheye zoom I had borrowed from my friend Jonathan I wanted to capture the evening light typically with a circular format. As you can see not all are circles.
Having worked on the files in Lightroom I took them into Photoshop to remove the black outer ring and typically replace with white. In some other cases I created a reduced opacity layer in place of the white. For the picture of Ann I used a dark grey. In a couple of images I did leave the black border.
The Cambridge Camera Club Wednesday Workshop Group was out and about last week in Cambridge. We met at 16:00 as the evening light was just starting.
I had two projects in mine, the first was to use ICM (intensional camera movement) on bikes and people. Fro this I used the Fuji x100v with the fixed 23mm lens (35mm on full frame).
Rainy Day in Cambridge
I needed to pick David’s glasses up from Boots and Sue needed to go to the hairdressers so we combined the two activities rather than take two cars. This would also give me an opportunity to take some photos of a couple of buildings in Mill Road.
This was out plan yesterday. We woke this morning to torrential rain but not to be put of doing a bit of photography in the city centre I modified my plans slightly. I did however get very very very wet.
Still amazed at the quietness of various places.
Dorset with CCC Day 6 - 16th June - A Day out with Phil
So our day started in Bridport. A nice Dorset Village. We had a wander round and investigated the town. We decided move on to West Bay before lunch. The afternoon was spent looking around this seaside town.
During the day e visited two churches with approx 700 Years Difference. This story and the diptych was my daily journal photo that you may have seen before.
The story that accompanied the two church's is repeated here along with the diptych.
Phil and I did not go with the other members of the Cambridge Camera Club today to the Swanage area, instead we traveled to Bridport and the West Bay area (allegedly in search of cake :)
During our travels we visited two churches. St Mary's in Bridport. Built early 13th Century (ie after 1201) on the site of a previous Saxon church. I spoke with two very nice ladies in the church and they explained a lot about the church and its community.
Phil and I then traveled to West Bay. Famous of recent years as the location for the filming of the crime drama Brordchurch.
After a walk around West Bay and an Ice Cream, Note a Herring Gull pinched Phil’s ice cream :( but they did not get mine :), We visited St Johns Church. This was built in the 1930's and dedicated in 1939 as a 'chapel of ease'. This is a church building other than a Parish Church so people who cannot get to the Parish Church can attend.
Note - we are being fed so well at the accommodation we are staying at neither of us had cake.
The last two pictures were taken back at the place we were staying. The second from last is Ann who organised the trip with her husband my friend Phil.
The last photo taken a few minutes later and signifies the end of our trip with friends from the Cambridge Camera Club. Sue and left the rest a day early to visit our granddaughter Eloise in Swindon for her birthday - and yes there was cake
