Here are my shots from Stonehenge over the solstice:

As I said when I posted the Filly Loo shots, I made a number of
technical mistakes, but thanks to Dr. Lightroom's Rescue Remedy I have
managed to recover some of them. In any case, I now know a lot more
about 2nd-curtain slow-sync flash than I did a couple of days ago.
I'll go again next year, and hope to get it right.

Comments welcome, of course.

It was an extremely tiring time. I drove to Ashmore from London,
arriving at about 6pm. Things started to kick off at 7pm and went on
until about 10.30. From there I drove to Stonehenge, arriving at about
11.30pm. I left at about 6am, having been on my feet carrying a heavy
camera bag with food and drink the whole time. It took a few hours to
get back to London, which I really shouldn't have driven - I nearly
nodded off at the wheel several times. When I got home I felt the urge
for a fry-up so I went out to a café, ordered the full monty, and fell
asleep at the table before I finished it!

Anyway, it's interesting to compare this year's Stonehenge with the
celebrations in gentler times, as shown on the Magnum site:
