Some of the college’s students have been capturing the beauties of Selwyn in a series of photographs that are proving to be very popular. They have been viewed and ‘liked’ tens of thousands of times on our social media platforms, and they offer some different perspectives on familiar scenes.
Our homepage photo, also below, was taken by third-year engineering student Laurence Moscrop in the early hours of Sunday February 19th. He explained on Facebook how the image of the chapel and the stars was captured:
“A few people have been asking me how I took the photo, so here is the procedure. Camera settings: aperture f/2.8, ISO 200, 30s exposure time. Set camera to take photos continuously for however long (e.g. 1 hour) on a tripod, then superimpose all the images on a computer and correct the colours.”
Laurence was also responsible for a lovely shot of the rooftops of the college as the sun was setting on a February evening. It was taken from the top of F staircase.
Meanwhile, Andrew Robertson - a 2nd year veterinary student - submitted a view of the front of the college in Grange Road as the Spring flowers were emerging; and a less conventional image of Old Court by night, taken from ground level.
