Cambridge

I was in Cambridge a week ago spending most of Sunday wandering around the city centre with a camera and a mission - to take some black and white pictures in a style reminiscent of the great Henri Cartier-Bresson - for the small photography group I belong to. As I'm really keen on streeet photography and fairly blatant when it comes to using my camera in these situations, I approached this project with a certain degree of relish. In the end I picked five or six to convert from colour to black and white. (In Photoshop Elements 2, I used Image>Remove Colour and then adjusted the brightness and/or contrast as I thought fit). Here are some of the pictures, though not necessarily the ones I thought most reflected the aim of the day's shooting.
