Seven Sisters bathing in Earthshine
The 1-day-old moon looked rather pretty at twilight tonight, so I got my mojo on and took some photos from Castle Mound. The very visible Earthshine would have been enough to make for an interesting photo, but the conjunction with the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) seals...
Read More5am on a Misty Morning
I left a party at 5am, to find that it was VERY misty and cold outside. Unlike any sane person who would have headed straight to bed, I was feeling inspired about my photography thanks to a new friend, so I went down to the King’s backs to try to get some atmospheric photos. These were taken with my new Canon 50D – the better ones had the camera resting on a bean-bag,...

Read MorePlaying 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...

Read MoreCambridge Fireworks on Midsummer Common
Taken from the wonderful vantage point of the Jesus College Boat House – the reflections in the Cam and the stunning compositions make these some of the best firework photographs I’ve taken. Also very helpful was a friend’s tip about setting the camera to bulb mode, so that shutter speeds could be easily adapted as the fireworks...

Another trip down to London, this time to show a visiting friend the sights. Interesting character on the Tube Packed shop window in Chinatown Quaint cottage in St. James Park Sunset over the Thames Bungee bouncing and Stormtroopers London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben at night St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Gherkin, and the City at...
Read MoreVenus and the Earthlit Moon
After a long rainy streak, the return of clear skies brought not only sunshine and warmth, but also a view of the conjunction between Venus and a young crescent moon. This photograph shows the phenomenon of Earthshine, where the dark side of the moon is illuminated by sunlight reflected off the Earth’s...
Read MoreCosta Rica – Day 2
I wasn’t planning on writing again today, but today’s events were even better than yesterday, and while I’ve got free internet at the hotel, and my family are all early-to-bed people on holiday, I thought I’d write some more :) A couple of things I forgot to mention yesterday were that they play lots of Salsa and Merengue music everywhere, and that every...
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...
