Bob: These are great. I especially like the ones with the folks dressed up as Druid priests & priestesses--most especially the older ladies in their druid garb. Chicago has a lot of Wiccans; I even got invited to a Wiccan Halloween party a hundred years ago, and I'm actually a huge fan of the novel Druids, by--can't remember the name of the author. Very entertaining novel. My best friend is from England, I believe the Swindon area (sp?), and she has always said, like you did in another post, that Aveberry is much more interesting. Anyway, great set of pictures. Cheers, Christine

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: http://tinyurl.com/2cn64b http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.Search01_V Page Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
