University Outfitters by judithg

University Outfitters

Failed miserably with all my shots today - I thought I was taking pretty sun/leaf/cobweb combos but the exposure was all over the place. So this is another from yesterday- the window of Ryder and Amies University Outfitters on the corner of King's Parade. A truly magnificent spot for a shop and I hope it never moves out to be replaced by a chain store. They have noticeably shifted to accommodate the tourist trade but still supply college gowns/scarves/ties etc to students and they still have all of the university sports club notices displayed along the shop front (another photo required sometime). On this side of the shop you get a lovely reflection of the Senate House and Gonville and Cauis College on a sunny day.
Three good things:
1. A beautiful September morning with sun dappling the paths every where you look.
2. Walk and coffee with good friends I haven't seen in ages and Monty getting on like a house on fire with my friend's new young dog. She's part collie and he knows what he's doing with collies!
3. My Trinity Lane pic is on PP - huge thanks for the fab feedback that made me very happy - it's been promoted to 365 from Extras - I must move the 3 good things now...
I love the contents and the reflection mixing together here. i thought it was layering to start with. A great effect xx

Yes I thought you'd been playing with the processing somewhat. It's a great combination of shop front and reflection.

A real shop window & a shop I feel I would enjoy. Great reflections add to the colour & give the whole thing a truly Cambridge stamp. I am off to watch a procession in Preston tomorrow, I might even use my bus pass for the first time!!!!!!

Very cool shot, Judith and congrats on the pp - well deserved as always :))

Lovely confusion here. This would make an exasperating jigsaw puzzle!
September 6th, 2012  
Wild! Fabulous reflections. At first I thought double or even triple exposure. Pp well deserved!
September 6th, 2012  
Very cool and so interesting with the reflections.

Great colours and reflections!

Love it! And good for Monty for getting along - more fun that way. Will be thinking of you when I get to NY tomorrow. Still time for a meet-up ;))
September 7th, 2012  
wow I thought this was just a fun double exposure when I first saw it, but the fact that it's a reflection doubles the coolness!
September 7th, 2012  
I think it's very interesting. So much to look at.
September 7th, 2012  
Love this reflection shot, their windows are so clean!
September 7th, 2012  
how cool is that
September 8th, 2012  
Great reflections!

Amazing picture. You've just really scared me with the thought that it could close down and become a chain store. That would be too terrible.

@cgould I don't think there are any plans! Barclays is now Hugo Boss but the only loss there is the cashpoint...
