This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. The first of the posts in this series was of a council building in Manchester. I always thought I should give then and now photographs a go. However what I have started to notice is that I have been doing Then and Now photographs unintentionally over the years and have been taking photographs of the same thing or place from the same view or perspective years apart. Now this has come to my attention I have started to intentionally take photographs of the same place.
This is the view of Trinity Lane in Cambridge, taken with an iPhone 13.
I have now taken this shot a fair few times.
I grew up in Cambridge, but moved away when I went to university in York. I remember rarely visiting the University of Cambridge as a youngster, why would I? However I did do some specialist maths classes at Trinity College, so would walk down Trinity Lane.
This is a photograph of Trinity Lane taken in April 2023 with an iPhone 13.
This photograph was taken in July 2022 with an iPhone 13.
This was taken in the middle of the day in bright sunshine.
I stayed over in Cambridge back in January 2020 I took this photograph of Trinity Lane.
I took this with an iPhone 8 in late afternoon I did edit and enhance the image with Snapseed, but the iPhone was able to deal with the low light conditions so much better.
It was back in March 2009 when I was at a JISC RSC Eastern event in Cambridge I did take the time the day before to walk around the town and took this photograph of Trinity Lane.
It was taken in the early evening with a Sony DSC-W53 camera, which to be honest struggled with the low light conditions.
