Brean Down Fort II (In Technicolor)

Here are some of the original series in colour (not sure which works best) and a few close-ups which definitely need colour to work.





















The originals are pretty sharp. Still can't get over what the "new" camera can do...
If you'd rather, here's the slideshow:

I cant comment on the B&W ones cos' they wouldn't load with my crappy internet connection, but the colour seem to work OK?, perhaps a tad more saturation for the rusty ones, I think the shot of the door with rusted away hinge is the best of the bunch. Looks like a H&S nightmare.

Is it fenced off or easily accessible?

Actually a once blast proof door to a concrete cupboard where artillery and anti-aircraft shells were stored.

It's very accessible (providing you don't mind a fairly steep climb and a walk of about a mile) and owned by the National Trust.

They're all great shots, Andrew. But 4,5 & 6 for me:

The contrast btween the two doors/shutters in 4.
The greens of the scene framed by the red brickwork in 5.
The Rothko painting left by someone as the focal point in 6.

Thanks for letting us see.

The more I look, the more there is to see!

Really great shots. Can't make up my mind for a favourite but may go with No 1 as for the different colours and the weathering. I love all of them. Well done.

It's nice to be nice!

Pentax K-5 with D-GB4 Grip, to many lenses to mention by now (serious LBA by now), TC's, Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW, Manfrotto 028 & Redsnapper RS-283 with various Heads plus various Camera Clamps (I collect them). Pentax AF 360FGZ, Pentax AF 240FT, several Metz 45 CT-1 & 5 with stands and 'Blow Up' Soft Boxes, Flash Triggers, and various Macro gear.

They are good in colour

The last one - full of interesting textures and colours - lots of variations on the hues - now that is absolutely stunning - I LOVE it

Great shots, much prefer the colour versions. The B+W ones didn't look as sharp, which I put down to the lens, but evidently i was wrong.

Another really nice set Andrew

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

5, 6 and 9 work best in b&w for me

Number 1 is my favourite though

K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Thanks everyone. Glad I posted the colour set: they are better. The mono ones are a bit grim and disturbing and remind me (in isolation) of those factories of death built by the Nazis. In reality the place doesn't feel like that, of course.


I hadn't seen it like that, but that shade of red is reminiscent of Rothko's work, Roger.

I like the photo of the beam and six bolts having worked in a structural steel workshop photos like these always have interest for me nic set well done.
