Senate House Passage view of Gonville & Caius College

This image was taken along Senate House Passage, looking onto the Gonville & Caius College, which is part of the University of Cambridge. Reference the GPS coordinates once you're on this street and you won't be able to miss this view. By public transportation: - Closest station: Cambridge (via CrossCountry, Great Northern, Thameslink or greateranglia) - Head west on Station Rd toward Mill Park Rd - Turn right onto Hills Rd/A1307 - Continue onto Regent St - Continue onto St Andrew's St - Slight left onto Sidney St - Turn left onto Market St - Continue straight onto Market Hill/St. Mary's St - Turn right onto Trinity St - Turn left onto Senate House Passage

There isn't any landscape in this shot, so as long as there isn't snow on the ground, you can photograph this location during any month of the year.

The morning is quieter, but midday and late afternoon will produce similar lighting conditions, too.

Since the street is so narrow, it'll immediately lead the eye to the college building. Make sure you are shooting with a wide enough lens so that the architecture isn't cut out of the frame.

Angle yourself a bit so you can photograph the varying heights and depths of the wall and building.

For a sense of scale, incorporate a model into the image. I wanted to capture someone who looked more natural, like they were going about their daily life, but you can also have someone pose.

Everything on the campus is within walking distance, so spend the day roaming around and taking in the daily life of the students at Cambridge.

You can also take one of the boat tours on the River Cam through a company called Scudamore's Mill Lane Punting.

For a sweet end to the day, visit Fitzbillies. They've been famous for the cakes since the 1920s.
