Here’s the new video of the village of Burwell, Cambridgeshire, taking in old and new photos of Doctors Corner, High Street, The Causeway, Bushell Corner, North Street, Silver Street, Burwell Lode, Ness Road and Burwell Mill!

All the old photos were found in a collection of old Burwell postcards by Rob Sowerby on flickr and The final photo of Burwell Mill was from the burwell stories website.

This is the music, but I can’t find any solid info on who wrote it or what it is

Burwell, Cambridgeshire - Then (?) and Now (2017) - New Video Uploaded!

I forgot I did these! I took the photos one night at around midnight in January 2016. Using a nodal ninja, 3 shot bracketing at 18 different angles for 48 images at each location, a 10mm ultra wide lens and a longest exposure of 1 minute, each of these took around 45 minutes to shoot, but i think they were worth it.

It’s hard to believe but it was absolutely pitch black. The Cathedral was barely visible and the famous ‘lantern’ was not illuminated that night. I had to use the light from my phone screen to see the controls on the camera! There was some barely visible orangey tungsten type lighting inside the cathedral, and the street lights were all bright yellow sodium. Compensating white balance for the sodium lights made the orange lights within the cathedral that gorgeous blue. The distant clouds in the sky were originally orange too illuminated by various street lighting, and the wb correction turned those blue too! Win win win. The bells in the west tower went off every 15 minutes and gave me the right willies every time!

In the 2nd pano the clouds were coming in and the long exposure gave a great streaky effect!

I highly recommend going fullscreen! (Click and drag the images to rotate the view)

I decided that rather than upload the Then/Now ‘interactive sliders’ as and when I had time to think about something to say for each one, I would upload them all at once, and think about saying something about them later.

Also today I found out the meaning (and spelling) of Mother lode!

I’ve split these into Parts I, II, III and IV because too many sliders might slow your browser down, and because I, II, III and IV is just better than 1, 2, 3 and 4  in my opinion.
