Michelle, that was a fantastic slide show. What was the music?
I really see what you mean now about clean lenses giving better results.

Can I ask you what you did to the B&W photos. They look like I used to get with Kodak TriX stock @ 400ASA.

You are an inspiration.

I can't remember what the music is from, it's a random track titled '18' on my harddrive, I picked it up somewhere years ago :)

The black and whites are tinted a light sepia and the black and white numbers are an Agfa preset in Silver Efex Pro.
The grain was in camera, I was shooting at high ISO for indoor stuff and outdoor was set to 200 I think.

marginally OT but if anybody would like to see some shots of the staffordshire hoard on display in the British museum here they are here

http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l215/nickgibson/British Museum/

there are loads of shots of the Sutton Hoo burial stuff here as well as random other saxon/viking artifacts that are on display

cheers
Nick


Thanks for sharing Nick, there's some good detail on those pics. Hopefully I'll get down to the BM to see the horde.

Actually the exhibition was a little disappointing as there were less than a dozen items on show and none of the most spectacular bits like the sword hilts. bit the rest of that gallery is amazing including the Sutton Hoo stuff.
The rest of the hoard is apparantly subject to sale so god knows where they will end up.
Not sure how long the display will be on for.

Cheers Nick

In the new year the hoard (or select pieces) will be displayed at the potteries museum at Stoke-on-Trent. There are plans to bid for it so it can return to the midlands for permanent display (taken from memory of a BBC article).

Great pictures all, thanks for sharing.

I do like the logs by the side of the building, with the water dripping from the thatched roof. Some great people pics too.
