Technically, I’m a few days late with this week’s challenge, which has the theme of Hometown. It is a funny kind of theme for me because my entire adult life has been spent in a borrowed, ever-rotating, hometown. Right now it’s Cambridge, UK but that will be changing soon. It was my hometown for this past week though, so I shot this photo:
ISO 25 f/2.2 1/183 sec 4.2mm
Shot while out on a walk along the River Cam, on a windy but not rainy day. This photo was edited with Luminar 3. I’ve added my own custom vintage look to it and from there tweaked the shadows a bit more.
Your comments are welcome below.
Cheers!

The contrast between light and shadow is particularly lovely in this scene. Very nice!

Up until my first child was born in 1999, I have been a nomad, moving between various countries in the West Indies, and between various states and towns in the USA. I guess I’ve lived in Montgomery Township, New Jersey long enough to call it home.

My first was born right around the same time as yours. I had kind of thought we would settle on one place at that point, but life didn’t work out that way. I came to accept that my “home” was in fact where ever I was with my family.

There are a lot of houseboats along this river and I find it really interesting to look at them. What they are named, how they are decorated, that’s all very interesting to me.
