7-Barrows

[JamesT]

7-Barrows is a small (one field) BBOWT nature reserve, that actually has at least 10 barrows in the reserve itself and rather more in the area. A few weeks ago I took the LF camera out there with an assortment of film stocks to try to get the hang of it again. These are a couple of IR images on Rollei IR400.

Ooh I rather like the effect  on both of those images James ...what a  super looking tree in #1 and fab sky in #2

The mounds aren't that obvious at first  in the top image until I looked a bit harder...but then I coud see two quite distinctly ... Do we know when they date from?

They are bronze age, so a rather newer than Wayland's Smithy.

I always find it hard to photograph earthworks, they always seem to end up looking flat.

Yes that tree looks tremendous

I think a few feet further to my right would have separated it from the plantation a little better.

Here are the others that I took of that tree:

From quite a bit further to the right, on Rollei Ortho 25

And from the other side on Ilford HP5+ (slight crop on the LHS because of a light leak in the film holder).

Interesting James, and great sky in #2
