Tread not gently …

Tread not gently …
I wanted to emphasise the metal Tank Track (or Caterpillar Tread) on this vehicle and found that adopting a ‘pseudo HDR’ approach was the best way to do that. Not a technique I have ever used much but it has its place in the resources available to the picture maker.

A restored World War II Churchill Tank on the Hill of Peace Memorial in Normandy.

The Hill of Peace Memorial is near the World War II battle site in the Normandy Bocage that was code named Hill 112, not far from the city of Caen. It was the scene of one of the bloodiest battles in that war; carnage is the word usually used. The Memorial is not on Hill 112 itself because residual material left there in 1944 is a danger to life.
