Oxford Nights - The Radcliffe Camera
One of the truly iconic buildings of the great university city of Oxford, The Radcliffe Camera. Since the 19th century this place has been one of the hosts to the Bodleian Library. It was actually built in the 18th century (1749) originally housing the science library. These days the perimeter also acts as a great place to leave your bicycle although there were surprisingly few on this evening!
I previously posted a wide angle shot which has since been purchased but wanted to keep one on my Flickr collection. This shot is from the cobbled stones on the reverse side of the building to the previous capture. A Canon 'L Lens' was used rather than my standard (but still great) Sigma and as a result the detail is greater. Some passing clouds give greater emphasis to the long exposure night image.
As always thank you for all of the generous faves and comments. They are always hugely appreciated!
