A day in the sunshine around Cambridge

Chelsea needed to take a couple of black and white shoots so she could create some photograms at Sixth Form. We met at Trumpington Park & Ride to get the bus into town. We then had a lovely walk down Downing Street and Pembroke Street and saw a Dinky Door.

We came out onto Trumpington Street and took some photos of Kings College before walking down St Edwards Passage to have a look at Sarah Key The Haunted Bookshop and G. David Bookseller. We also peered into the window of Indigo Coffee House, somewhere we want to visit when we start our food blog.

I practised making the sun star out by changing the aperture to the lowest value. This means the whole in the lens is at it’s smallest, making the light start through creating a really cool effect.

We then walked to the river stopping on Garret Hostel bridge to watch the punts.

The Cambridge Paint Out event was on too so we saw a few artists busily painting the beautiful Cambridge cityscape.

We then walked to the Cambridge University Library and saw lots of nice flowers and saw King’s College from the other side.

Overall, it was a really good day. The nice weather helped too.
