University Library

After 35 years in Cambridge I finally got to visit the Giles Gilbert Scott library, which he designed in 1934.  The woodwork looks much older, though. Scott also designed the iconic telephone box, one of which is being used as a Book Drop outside the front door.

The Tourists Are Back

A morning in Cambridge with Barry & Sue and Gyles updating building photos for historic file.

 

Textures

 Back to Madingley Hall with eight CCC members to photograph the snowdrops.  I was looking for texture images in the church and found a few.

Snow At Last!

It snowed in the village between 7 and 10 pm last night.  By 11.30 when we got out (schools were closed) the snow was beginning to melt and losing its crispness, but still looked good.

 

Light Trails

 An evening at the People's Hall with Martin energetically swinging and spinning lights for us.  Most of these images were made with exposures of about 20 seconds, the aperture being f/5.6 or f/8 at ISO 200.

 

It's the Pits Again.

A chilly but sunny day at Paxton.  There was an active Great White Egret and half a dozen Littles.  We clocked a Sparrowhawk waiting around in a tall tree and a Jay in flight, as well as Kingfishers crossing the water.  The two Mallards had hold of each other and were spinning in circles in the water.

 

Alles in Ordnung

 I was due to take Meredith and Karl to Duxford, but Bug had a bad flu, so it was just Karl.  He rushed around everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed himself, even though Mum had left his bockwurst out of his lunch.  Giles allowed him into the flight deck of the BAC 1-11 (top), and I allowed him into the Trident.  

Philm Noir

 A Film Noir evening at Toft People's Hall used much shadow effect.  This is one of my set-ups; me photographed with my camera after others had tried it. 

50 + 35 + 1

It's fifty years since I first went to Snetterton Circuit, about thirty-five since I first took Peter and today was the first time Sadie had been.  She took a lively interest in the racing in spite of a strong wind, and we watched from various points around the track and saw the pits.
