#156 The Farthing Downs Tour

#156 The Farthing Downs Photo tour
http://www.squidoo.com/farthing-downs-tour


I actually managed to come up with something for the Caption Competition for Squido Summer School. It might not be the best lens ever, but it uses the Caption module to create a bit of interaction. Basically I was already working on a photobook of the Downs to go with my lens, and ran into problems that the countryside can only be photographed in so many ways - tree, tree, shrub, sky, grass and pages of this in a book can get very very dull.

So the photos got recycled, I got a lens for the summer school, and another one towards the 200!

#122 Farthing Downs

Farthing Downs on Zazzle

#122 http://www.squidoo.com/farthing-downs

A lens about the Corporation of London open land inside London. This was an interesting one, because when I first started I could find very little. However when I changed tack to bulk out the lens, looking at ramblers and archeology I was suddenly flooded. As a result it feels a bit scrappy, and I will be adding more content once I have the images to go with it.

It was also tricky since when you are standing at the top of Farthing Downs with your camera is not when you want a) to have the batteries go flat and b) for it to start raining. I can take a hint, so new images can wait until I've dried off!
