We didn't hang about too long in Oxford - decided it was best to leave Missy to it, once we'd stocked her fridge and larder and made sure she had all the essentials for her bedsit. Her bedsit, which costs an arm and a leg, by the way - Uni Halls of Residence are not cheap. Still, she's safe and warm and that's one less thing for my wife and I to worry about.
We planned to take a couple of days to ourselves before getting the ferry back from Liverpool-Birkenhead to Belfast, and the first of those days was spent in Stratford upon Avon - birthplace, as I'm sure you know, of a certain Bill Shakespeare.

| This was one of those 'compose-and-wait' shots. Wait until there was decent separation between the actors in the foreground. That's Shakespeare's house in the background, of course, and it sits in the middle of Stratford's high street. To be honest, there ain't a lot else in the town other than the museum (out of shot to the right) and the huge Royal Shakespeare Company theatre down by the river. It's pleasant enough but we'll not be rushing back any time soon. OM4ti/35mm Zuiko, HP5+ on Foma 133 paper. |
You really nailed the timing. And the people in the foreground make the photo much more interesting than a straight picture of the house.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Yes, the house, although interesting, is just a building. It was the people that caught my eye.
