Small Fungi

Time for something other than night photos. I am still trying to sort through pictures taken on recent trips to the Lake District. I can agonise at the selection stage for a long time. But, here is a quick one to be going on with. A couple of rather small fungi (maybe a couple of centimetres high) growing on a lichen covered tree trunk.

All The Fun Of The Fair

More low-light stuff I'm afraid. Taken on Bonfire night at the fair on Midsummer common that accompanies the Cambridge display. Sue described me to another club member as a 'night photography expert'. I think she just meant that I do a lot of it. It is certainly a type of photography I find both endlessly fascinating and endlessly challenging.

Fireworks

I know what you're thinking. Where have I been for the last month? Don't ask. Instead, look at the pretty fireworks.

Some More Cambridge Low Light Pictures

I haven't been taking any pictures lately, and I am still playing around with the pictures I took at Derwent Water in September. So, for the sake of putting a post up, here are a few more low light pictures from the, now not very recent, Abbey Horizons shoot.

Another Abbey Horizons Points of View

In the middle of September there was another mini Points of View Competition organised for members of the Abbey Horizons group. Just like the last one, this was modelled on the annual competition of the same name, only a little smaller. With the nights already drawing in, the feel of this evening was very different to the previous event held at the height of summer. The themes were:

1. Debris, decay or dereliction.

2. Church or churchyard detail.

3. Artificial light.

4. Freestyle.

However, as well as taking one picture for each of the 4 subjects, there was also the option to do a panel of 5 images on just one of the subjects. Since night photography is a passion of mine, I chose an artificial light panel. For the panel I concentrated on picking people out againt the lighting.

Ramsey 1940s Weekend - A Few More

A new season has started at camera club and things are getting hectic. I've had no time to take any new pictures, so here are a few more from Ramsey to show willing.

Ramsey 1940s Weeked

A few pictures from the 1940s weekend of the re-enactors. Portrait photography really isn't my thing. So rather that trying to sweet talk people into posing for me, I stuck to candid pictures. It helped that a lot of the people there rarely broke character. Even when they thought people weren't looking.
