1 hour in the snow
It snowed in Cambridge again today (the heaviest UK snowfall in the last 11 years), not quite as much as in Oxford or London, but enough to make every other person wander around town with their camera :) Taking advantage of the glorious and beautiful snow, I left home early and wandered around the pretty parts of Cambridge taking photos before work. The last time it snowed, I...
Read MoreCambridge in the twilit mist
I went wandering with my camera again this afternoon. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to get some photos of Cambridge in the mist, just as it was getting dark. I had the whole afternoon when the light was better, but wanted to make things hard on myself. I guess I always preferred night photography, though I should have taken a...
Read MoreCambridge Mist & Frost
It was rather misty and frosty in Cambridge this morning. Oh, and pretty cold as a result :) I got a few photos on my way into work this morning. Poor spiders… I had to stop there, as I was running late for work, and I couldn’t feel my fingers. That evening, I couldn’t resist getting a photo of the giant snowman by the Cineworld. It’s...
Read More22 Degree Moon Halo & New Court Nightscapes
With a crisp, clear night boasting a brilliant full moon, I headed out with my camera, and after 2 hours of salsa to warm me up, spent 2 hours getting rather numb taking photos, but the results were worth it. I wouldn’t have spotted the moon-halo, had it not been for a group of people standing in the middle of John’s New Court, excitedly talking about how amazing it...
Read MoreOne of my photos made it onto the BBC News website
Last December, I posted a photo I took of King’s College Chapel in this blog. I submitted it to the BBC News website magazine last night; following on from an article written by a friend of a friend, they requested photos of buildings. I was pleasantly informed by a few people today that they saw my pic on the BBC website – nice of the Beeb to have selected one of mine...
Read MoreIs Trinity a Den of Thieves?
There are hundreds of tales recounted about Cambridge, many are probably apocryphal, but they’re still juicy enough to tell people who haven’t heard them yet (or gullible tourists in a punt). While taking the photographs shown below, I noticed the inscription on the Trinity Chapel, which reminded me of one of these tales. I’ve not checked the veracity of the tale,...
Read MoreMore night photos…
I took some more photos at night this morning – as I got home at 2:30, I noticed a clear sky and rising moon, so headed out again with my camera. Got distracted taking photos down St. John’s St and Trinity St, and completely forgot about the moon! Dawn came at 4am and ruined the light though :( Here are two quick processings of some of the photos I took (I’ll...
Read MoreKing's College at Night
I headed out with my camera to take advantage of the full moon this evening, only for the skies to fill with clouds and rain to start coming down (damn unpredictable weather!) – I did manage to get this 30-seconds shot of King’s backs though, which came out rather nicely: More photos of King’s College at...
Read MoreGood morning…
This was the view that greeted me on my way into work this morning…
Read MorePrague
Lucky, lucky me. Another week, another conference, another country. This time I’m in Prague, and am relishing the opportunity. Having got up at a ridiculous hour (4am, after 3 hours’ sleep), my colleague and I got into Prague at 9am. Quite impressive, considering most people back in Britain were still enjoying their Saturday morning lie-ins… The Charles Bridge...
