Salisbury Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England, and is considered one of the leading examples of Early English architecture.[1] The main body was completed in only 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.
Through the Nave to the Altar, Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire, England. Purchased the Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE back in 2009 brand new. Sold it in 2019 and regretted the decision. Bought this replacement from mpb Photographic in the UK "As New" for ~ $604 US.
It came complete with all the original packaging, including Lens Hood, for $604 US. This is the Test Image that I took to check it out. Very, very pleased with my purchase. Three Exposures from a Tripod with Mirror Lock Up have been blended.
The church at Budir (The black church) is a beautiful specimen of a 19th century country church and it is in fact one of the oldest extant wooden churches in Iceland.
The joy of one-touch zoom lenses. Photojournalism as art. Luckily Road & Track magazine would publish photos like this (not this one as Mass didn't finish well) in what I call the Golden Age of F1 photography at the end of an era where you could get close to the car while they were racing. Two-touch zooms cannot do what a one-touch zoom can do.
Sarsen Stones at the Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire, England.
Overcast, dark morning, so I popped up to Avebury to makes some images of the Standing Stones when the sky had form and textures.
This stones were erected here 6,000 years ago, before those at Stonehenge. Shear manpower was used to transport them from the top of the Marlborough Downs down to the site at Avebury. Our Neolithic ancestors had to make do with Deer Antlers as picks and their version of rope, made from the hides of animals cured and platted together. Many of the stones weigh over 16 tonnes each
