There are innumerable opportunities for photographers in Avebury, but it is enormously difficult to do anything original. It has all been done before, and better. I regard it simply as a benchmark for my own development in using a camera.
I took this picture in the summer of 2011 using a camera and lens which I have since replaced. It is perfectly possible to make wonderful photographs with the most basic of equipment, but every incremental improvement, particularly in lens quality, gives a photographer a sporting chance.
At that time I had not discovered that photographing in RAW provided the greatest chance of making a satisfying image. This photograph is a straight-out-of-camera JPEG. Adjustment is possible, but limited.
Naively, I once believed a photograph could simply be repeated on another visit to the same place if an improvement was sought. There are so many variables that prevent this. Maybe with patience and skill it can be done, but I lack both.
So I am left with a picture which I like but which I know is not original. In fact, I took this photograph because I had been inspired by something similar (and better) by somebody else. And here I have applied some of the Lightroom tools which were not available to me in 2011.
If you are a visitor to Avebury and the perspective in the photograph appeals, the settings I used with an APS-C camera were 210mm; f/4.8; 1/400th. (But much depends on where you position yourself and the light, of course).
