Continuing on from the camping trip photos, here are some more long exposure photos with multiple flash pops, and light trails.
Playing with Light 2
Acting Headshot for Lizzy
Lizzy graduated from Cambridge in 2001, has worked and travelled since then, and is now returning to drama school in London to continue the acting that she pursued during her time as an undergraduate.
Playing with Light
While most of Britain was suffering torrential rain and floods, my friends and I were enjoying fine weather on the Norfolk coast for a weekend camping trip. While sitting round the camp-fire, someone brought out sparklers, which naturally led to people drawing and writing in the dark. I started taking long-exposure photos of these drawings, and then remembered a Strobist blog article, about firing the flash remotely from several locations in one long exposure. The results are shown below.
Dirty Dancing
On a trip to the Norfolk Coast with the Cambridge University Rock’n’Roll Team, a couple showed off one of the more popular acrobatic moves, Dirty Dancing; however, the appearance of the wave wasn’t quite expected.
Samantha & Alec's Wedding
Samantha and Alec were students of Queens’ College, Cambridge, and celebrated their wedding in the beautiful old part of the college.
Colour & Form – St. John's
Having made my first Cambridge-based Colour & Form montage last week, it spurred me on to make another one, of my alma mater, St. John’s College.
If you’re a Johnian, try to guess which part of college each photograph is of.
Cambridge Photowalk
I took part in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk, which saw 7,500 photographers in 230 locations around the world go out together and take photos of their home cities. As I’ve lived in Cambridge for a long time, and photographed many of the buildings and scenes, I decided to start on a project that has been long overdue – creating a “Colour & Form” montage of my home town. I’ve already created several of these from other places I’ve visited, notably France, Costa Rica, Barcelona, South Africa and Italy. I managed to put together this rather nice one from a 2 hour walk through town. I now have plenty of ideas for creating a dozen more “Colour & Form” montages for Cambridge, so I’d better get cracking!
Here are few of my other favourite photos from the walk:

Sweden
I travelled to Sweden again this year for more Acrobatic Rock’n’Roll training with other members of the Cambridge University Rock’n’Roll Team. This team, we spent a day in Stockholm at the beginning, and a day in Vasteras at the end. Unusually for me, I didn’t take that many scenic/touristic photos, perhaps because I was with a group of friends. Or possibly because it was quite grey and I wasn’t overly impressed until we wandered around the park on Djurgarden and the sun came out…

Modelling portfolio for Megan
Megan, whom I’ve photographed before, had a casting with a modelling agency, so wanted some new and full-length photos for her portfolio.
London Red Bull Air Race
A friend hosted a party the night before the Red Bull Air Race, and his apartment in London’s Docklands had a fantastic view over the race course the next morning. You wouldn’t have seen images of aeroplanes flying low and fast over central London a few years ago…
