Christiern Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Great photos, Rolf! Love that old Chevy and the touch of color (not so effective on you ). Did you find Hard-Hearted Hannah? Good to see that you are getting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 So which one did you order? And what was the side dish? Very nice pictures. I rarely get close enough to animials to catch them like that. They generally run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely get close enough to animials to catch them like that. They generally run off. these are from the local wild bird sanctuary. they are all on the mend or permanently infirmed. they are in huge outdoor cages. some are released back into the wild. some days they are all hiding. this day i was lucky.

A Lark Ascending Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Sussex and a bit of Hampshire: First one shows what you might have seen if you'd been a Norman on 14th October, 1066 (give or take a few trees, an landscaped hillside and a bloody great abbey built subsequently to make amends for the slaughter).

Shame that they filled in some of the steep incline below the Saxon front line with soil when the B'tard built the Abbey to atone his sins ! Still a very atmospheric spot - in particular that boggy bit on the RHS where they butchered the over-eager lot who went chasing the Bretons. Still a bit boggy to this day ! If only Harold had taken his mum's advice and held off for a day. The consequences would have been huge (probably no USA for starters..)

Having taught the BoH to kids for over 30 years it was fascinating to see where it happened. Much more compact than I imagined. I've drawn diagrams of Senlac Hill many times over the year - a bit weird finding myself staying at Senlac Wood campsite!

alocispepraluger102 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i may never pick up a camera again. i just might become a vinyl flipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) I'm sure that for professionals or people with proper photography skills the good ones come up with far fewer shots and in a much broader range of contexts. I hardly touch the controls on my camera. Actually one thing that frustrates me is depth of field. I had a Pentax camera years ago using film and you could see the effect of changing the dial on depth of field. The Olympus I use doesn't seem to do this. I find it hard to work out looking at the screen if I've achieved what I want or not. Added to which I can never remember whether wide depth of field comes from a high fstop or a low (I can't tell left from right either!).

A Lark Ascending Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks, Aggie. People on this board come from all over and I love seeing photos of where they live or the landscapes they cherish. Some great ones over the years from the States, Japan etc. I remember some remarkable ones from southern Russia from a poster who seems to have vanished.

sidewinder Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) a bit weird finding myself staying at Senlac Wood campsite! That must have been pretty well the spot where Harold's army camped the night before the battle, boozing it up to recover from their Northern exertions. Spooky ! Good to hear that Hastings is still covered in some schools at least - although I suspect that a lot of schools skip over it now. I remember doing a whole term dominated by Anglo Saxon and Viking history with lots of coverage of York (Erik Bloodaxe etc.) - but that was in the an area that was once part of the 'Danelaw'. I suspect that these days it is hardly covered. Edited August 26, 2011 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
