I'm happy if I get just one image a week I'm happy with.<br /><br />Andrew, given good light they could be wonderful.<br /><br />Horst, it is an impressive structure.<br /><br />Graham, I'll see if I have time to give the church a good looking at. <br />I really like the aqueduct but it was folly to build to such a narrow gauge. They would probably still be of some use today had they been twice or three times the width. <br />I've just got too depressed to rant.<br /><br />Olga, thanks, a bit of sun makes all the difference.<br /><br />Bob, it is a great piece of work.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-12265018655846325002011-12-01T08:51:29.740+00:002011-12-01T08:51:29.740+00:00Lovely photographs, especially the aquaduct, it is...Lovely photographs, especially the aquaduct, it is so photogenic.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-81645158995148160252011-12-01T02:37:25.267+00:002011-12-01T02:37:25.267+00:00Very beautiful photos.

I have a feeling that it was built in a bit of a hotch potch and that although the church was originally Norman or pre-Norman that the tower is about 600 years old. I suppose I should Wiki it. <br /><br />The viaduct and aquaduct are truly magnificent structures and part of the rich heritage of engineering which made it possible for us to live in the relative wealth which we as a nation do live. Doubtless your rant tomorrow will show where we've come unstuck since the glory days of the industrial revolution, sweat shops, slavery and cheap labour: all the things upon which our wealth is based. I am so glad that I'm not starting out my life now!GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-88175733429783804212011-11-30T20:53:15.597+00:002011-11-30T20:53:15.597+00:00Love the photo of the Aquaduct from the side Such ...Love the photo of the Aquaduct from the side Such a beautiful thing to see.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-39985440203210804992011-11-30T20:00:36.018+00:002011-11-30T20:00:36.018+00:00Sounds like you had a relaxing day...

And yes you want to aim for perfection but is not perfection a bit subjective?! Perfection is often boring as it doesn't allow your eye and mind to wander in the photo, it keeps you in a box and also remove all spontaneity of doing something for pleasure. This being said I don't like ugly, unbalanced photos... <br />Today i like your aqueduct-viaduct, quite an impressive structure!<br />Hope the sun will shine tomorrow! :)Travel France Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944836623797085969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-72372408774818501182011-11-30T17:34:22.917+00:002011-11-30T17:34:22.917+00:00I hope that you get into the factory....industrial...I hope that you get into the factory....industrial images can be really striking and I will be interested to see what you come up with....<br /><br />-TrevorTrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-88591886017377624422011-11-30T17:02:05.442+00:002011-11-30T17:02:05.442+00:00John, I've had a look.

Not this time for me. These images are all exposure blended so should be perfect. There is no limit. I did not take the tripod so had to burst shoot. If I'd dropped exposure a stop then I could have scored. Such is life.<br />The factory is photogenic.........I'll give it a whirl.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-20796900288390351612011-11-30T15:53:34.450+00:002011-11-30T15:53:34.450+00:00It's a pity the sky is so featureless on the f...It's a pity the sky is so featureless on the first / last photos.<br />The lighting is just right on the tunnel photo, even with the overcast sky.

I think you've done a good job, I don't think the photo need cropping. For me it's just the sky looks a little washed out.<br />I love the second image of the fibreboard factory - sparking and bright. I love the way the sun lights up the steam from the chimneys. We have a similar factory producing fibre board near Inverness. I must investigate with my camera!annie hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894824060367890048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-17562487275153202512011-11-30T14:22:09.937+00:002011-11-30T14:22:09.937+00:00Monica, many thanks......I need an editor.

(The intense red of the sun tends to draw one's eye into that corner.) But that's me. The tunnel photo is a beauty.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.com
