Afternoon, folks. I've been rather quiet for way too long - it's been a bit of a busy few months at work, and I've not done much new photography. Anyway, things have now quietened down a little at work (just about to be replaced by a panic of wedding preparations) but I got a great opportunity last week to photograph the announcement of the Part II Mathematical Tripos results in the Senate-House in Cambridge. Most of the degree results are posted to noticeboards outside this building (an eighteenth-century neoclassical piece of architecture at the centre of the city, used for degree ceremonies) but for maths, they're read out by the Chairman of Examiners and then tossed from the balcony to the students below.
I've been asked by the head of my department if I'd mind doing some work to increase the stock of images available - a great opportunity to get in to things like this and take some really original shots - so I went armed with my full range of kit. In the end, the best images were with the Sigma 10-22 at the 10mm end. I'm still loving super-wide work.
So, apologies for being so quiet and take this as my return to more active online participation.
Ivan, I'll drop you a mail about hooking up for some beers.

G - nice pictures! Looks like tricky exposure; bright window light, bright ceiling, dark interior and floors - how did you capture these? Great wide angles too - love the one with the students down below, hands and faces in the air. Great in-the-moment shot. How did you get this shot from down below and on the balcony too - assume they did it in stages (for you?). The formal shot is great too - very stately and formal.
Nice set - some may be worth entering as a portfolio at CCC?
Ivan
