Looking up by judithg

Looking up

I hope you've all guessed that she had a camera around her neck and was looking for photo ops - a woman after our own hearts... Another day, another hockey tournament and (aarrghhh!) another one won so there's yet another day away from school next Tuesday. I'm absolutely zonked tonight so I may be a bit feeble commenting.
Three good things:
1. My friend has just called to arrange a night out - she's on top of her (and my) Christmas promise to catch up properly which will be lovely.
2. Adam's knees are covered in bruises but nothing broken and his friend has probably NOT broken his nose :0/ - a rough game at times....
3. I seem to have lost a proper 2lb and not just imagined it - so now I weigh the same as when I started trying to lose weight ;0)
Lovely plait down her back. I bet she found lots of pics around there - I can see bikes! ;)

I love the buildings and the busy street... Very nice shot.

@humphreyhippo I did want to tell her that she needs to look down not up!
March 5th, 2013  
are we sure she's not on 365? lovely scene!
March 5th, 2013  
Lovely street scene:-)
March 5th, 2013  
I like your shot - and as for no3. good thing - a bit of a conundrum!
March 5th, 2013  
ha ha three made me laugh! This woman is a rookie - she's missing a bike opportunity going past for goodness sake.
March 5th, 2013  
@fueast And that satchel alone was worth a shot - I took it!
March 5th, 2013  
I wonder if she is a member of 365 ?? congrats on the weight loss
March 5th, 2013  
This takes me back a bit to another time.

Glad to hear no broken bones, try arnica for bruises. Nice shot, how are you enjoying he nifty fifty?
March 5th, 2013  
I DO sympathize with the weight thing-- that's been my story all winter! I like the shot, but I'm wishing she'd watch where she was going!
March 5th, 2013  
It is her hair that catches my eye.....love to have hair like that! You're right about the satchell......on my shopping list!! I once had the true original go to school one!!! Maybe she knows bike shots have been 'bagged'!! Well observed Judith.
March 5th, 2013  
Nice catch - and I see you managed to get some bikes in there as well. Good job on #3 - always a frustration, isn't it?
March 5th, 2013  
Great street shot, Judith!
March 5th, 2013  
@jo13 Love it!
March 5th, 2013  
Nice one :) At some point I'm convinced I'm going to spot one of my students in one of your shots!
March 5th, 2013  
Ah yes, I know this passage. Nice capture of her mid-step and looking up.
March 5th, 2013  
I too was drawn to her hair - a nice shot
March 5th, 2013  
Is that the street next to the Senate House with the Sun Dial up on her right? Nice shot
March 5th, 2013  
All blondes in Cambridge & like Cherrill love her hair. The girl on the bike with satchel would have been my choice too!!
Are you on the two day diet... thought I might try that if you do well on it, Cathy is trying it too. Not quite sure I understand your wonderful logic!!!

Ah, Judith. . .I have just held my sides from laughing at "now I weigh the same as when I started trying to lose weight". . .the story of my life, dear heart. Great catch here.
March 5th, 2013  
Yes, I'd prefer the bike, rider, and bag...but your shot is fabulous. I keep looking at it to try to know consciously what I like so much. I think it's the leading line that takes you into the shot while the woman with camera becomes the person going in. I sure know that losing pounds to get back to where I started trying to lose weight feeling. Fav

I love the composition and the way her hair catches the light. The bikes are great, too. I see 2 people wonder if she's a 365-er. That was my first thought also. It's certainly possible!
March 6th, 2013  
Great street shot, Judith, and I really like the composition, too.
March 6th, 2013  
I like these behind shots - this one in particular has lots of interest - the upwards look, the bicycle and the slim lady walking towards you! ( I only find fat ladies on the street!)
March 6th, 2013  
Nice shot. Love the braid on the black coat.
March 6th, 2013  
@happypat I did the 2/5 diet for 5 weeks and lost not an ounce!! Now the weather is getting better it will shift..hopefully!! Love your shot and that amazing hair, but the comments are fantastic!!
March 6th, 2013  
Ooo if I were there I'd be looking up too, first because I'm an amateur and second because of the grandness of those gorgeous old buildings. Love this, you take the path with her. Congrats on becoming the same weight, its my neverendingstory as well :)
March 6th, 2013  
Love this elegant and plaited woman, she is quite intriguing. A nicely busy shot!
March 6th, 2013  
The bike and the plait certainly caused lots of interest! Alison's remark re the bike opportunity made me chuckle. Nice street capture.
March 6th, 2013  
Looking for planes...and with all those bikes about...clearly a mere 'beginner'!
March 6th, 2013  
Great candid shot!I love the similarity that the two girls bring -both elegant,blond and in black.That's the thing that makes this image very intriguing for me!
March 6th, 2013  
I thought the same as Darinka, the symmetry of the light-haired ladies in black coats really makes the shot--although I'm counting the oncoming woman as well. I agree that the bike and satchel is a great shot too, but I'm glad you captured this one as well!

March 6th, 2013  
a nice bit of cambridge life judith....love the fact that both the ladies are dressed similar and both blonde too...it gives the image a nice bit of symmetry ...gr8 'old school' satchel too
March 6th, 2013  
Great street scene. Beautiful braid (plait) down her back and no, it didn't immediately strike me that she had a camera but happy you pointed it out!
March 7th, 2013  
Love street scenes. Great pic.
March 7th, 2013

March 7th, 2013  
Great capture!!!
March 7th, 2013  
Nice hair on the walker, nice satchel on the biker and good luck with number 3!
March 8th, 2013  
Fab comp, great candid. I wonder if she's a fellow 365er! xx
March 8th, 2013  
I love her plaited hair and the bike and satchel, congrats on losing your 2lb :)
