The Olympic Torch

It's a tough job but somebody has to do it:

Had the opportunity to hold the torch today - what a treat.  Time to get into training before it's too late!

Points of View

Cambridge camera Club annual "Points of View" competition last night and what a great evening.  31 entries, each covering 5 categories (Gown, Town, Movement, Shapes & Contrast).  This is the competition to come 2nd in as the winner organises it the following year.  Congratulations to Paula for her well deserved 1st place with a score of 42/50.

Gown - Typical University Chaple

Town - shot in Newnham

Movement - Camera zoon on a 2000 bench

Shapes - Institute for Mathematical Sciences - what a building, can't wait to do some low light shots

Contrast - Old / New Mono / Colour - how to make a mess of a historic building

Derby Phoenix Motor Cycle Club, Snetterton

Why is Snetterton always so cold! Ignoring that, a great days racing at Snetterton with a great mix of bikes and sidecars on a damp and slippery track.

Snowy Cambridge

It was cold but interesting, before the snow melts away. American cemetry was amazing. Ice breaking punts seemed in demand - madness!

A Snowy Day in Histon

Took a stroll to get the Sunday paper yesterday, just to see what the snow was like so took the camera along.  Lots of snowmen and other fin on the Histon Green.

Just reflections of the snow by The Green (well not today) 

Just to prove that the Red Lion is just as inviting when it snows. 

Intersting Day in London last Sunday

The intention was to "do" the Chinese New Year celebrations - wow what crowds, didn't even get close to most of the action so a little disapponted with the results (understatement).

Watching

The crowds were just too much so a quick walk along the South Bank

and finally to the Tate Modern

Competition Night again!

Our third projected Image Competition" at Cambridge Camera Club and I got my points for turning up!  The following images didn't hit the spot this week.
