Wow, these collages are awesome!! How did you make them?? It looks a lot better than what Photoshop does in my opinion.
Hope you can spare a trick, would love an image like that in my new hall.
Regards Ursula

Do you have a special feature on your camera for these multi-exposure shots – mine only does “Panorama” – or am I being too restitcted in my usage! They’re pretty cool!

Comment on Humberside Police – Cycle Theft Strategy Group by Martin McD

I wonder how many people used to lock their bicycles in the inter-war years. Even when I was a lad in the fifties I never had a lock and would just leave my bike outside the sweet-shop. This all sounds lik ethinking is way behind road strategy where we are now talking about reducing the danger of roads rather than protecting ourslelves in a futile way from those dangers – putting the responsibility on the dangerous rather than the endangered. Much much more should be done to stop the thieves and break up their disposal routes. If they can’t easily get rid of this bikes then they won’t nick them!

Hi Hannah. Glad you like the time-lapse sequence things. I use a special camera called a Go Pro that takes photos every 2, 5, 10, 20, 60 seconds. I then put them all together and edit if necessary on imovie or Final Cut Pro (if I want it to be a little more fancy). I really enjoyed the L&O ride too and the rest of the weekend was hectic was great. See you next time I'm up north.

Hi Kat! It’s Hannah here, Gisele’s friend.
I really like the time lapse sequences, I wondered how you are creating them from your images? Do you have a function on your camera or a handy programme on your computer? Just interested…

Hope the rest of your weekend went well, as for me, I can’t wait to take Lee to the bridge now I’ve conquered it! I’ll go with my camera this time!

Comment on Last night with the tandem club by Bridget Ward

I love this photo – this is about as much as I can see sometimes when I get ‘misted up’ – it’s actually very dangerous – but you know how it is when you are cycling along and get thinking about things! Wow, what a lovely experience for sight-impaired cyclists to be able to go on a tandem bike ride. Hull rocks! Thanks for sharing the photos and news, Kat. xx

Newland Avenue was one of a few high streets to receive funding for a project experiementing with new approaches to dealing with these ‘mixed priority routes’.

More about it here: http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/dpp/mpr/

Of all the mixed priority route schemes I’ve seen Newland Avenue was far the best. I like the informal ‘piano key’ crossings.
