Advertisement Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Hi andybarton, Take a look here Thaxted. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted June 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2007 Andy - Fabulous details, DOF, depth, color, light and composition. Are you back already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted June 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2007 Beautiful photograph. Lovely rural subject and well controlled DOF. I'd definitely hang this on my wall. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted June 4, 2007 Andy - Fabulous details, DOF, depth, color, light and composition. Are you back already? Haven't been away yet. Go tomorrow. Fully loaded with 4 (count 'em) camera bags, more film than Calumet, SD cards akimbo. Be prepared... Thanks for the comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted June 4, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 4, 2007 Andy, Lovely picture of a lovely place. I have only recently been scanning some old slides and one is of thaxted and it really struck me how these places are much more smartened up than they once were. I'm not sure its an improvement! Here is me at Thaxted in 1964 - not a Leica picture - taken by my Dad with my Voigtlander Vito B Have a great holiday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted June 4, 2007 I have one of this cottage... stand by (the light was in the wrong direction, but it will be intersting to compare, maybe) You're older than you look, btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted June 4, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm afraid they have been sent through the "chocolate-box" machine. Must be for the tourists, who like this sort of thing. It's a shame that buildings like this can't be left in an honest, sound condition, rather than "beautified" and Sandtexed. It's like a Disneyland version of the real thing and yet it IS the real thing. Or supposed to be. [ATTACH]40439[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted June 4, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 4, 2007 I agree Andy. As a historian by training and by profession for the early years of my working life our attitude to the past makes my blood boil. It's all sanitised, PC'd "heritage" nonsense!! It's not how old you look that counts its how old you feel and I feel all of my 54 years - but thanks for saying I don't look it. Others have said the same - If i wasn't happily married it would be the passport to increased opportunity followed by guarenteed failure!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted June 4, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 4, 2007 A perfect composition, Andy. Congrats. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydave Posted June 4, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 4, 2007 Splendid shot Andy, love the DOF & the way it draws your eye to the church. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted June 4, 2007 Share #11 Posted June 4, 2007 Great colours, composition, etc, etc... This screams B&W to me but I am VERY old compared to you wet-behind-the-ears lick-spittles. Are we going to have an argument about where this windmill is situated? Edit- is that the same row of cottages as in Keith's shot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted June 4, 2007 Edit- is that the same row of cottages as in Keith's shot? Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting them. Keith was standing by the gate, a mere 43 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted June 4, 2007 Share #13 Posted June 4, 2007 Keith was standing by the gate, a mere 43 years ago. And the brown cardigan still fits him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
