A few fairly old pictures from me. I'm starting a photographic study of Westbury in January, simply because I love taking pictures but also potentially towards a Higher Education Arts course I am starting soon. For the technically minded these were taken with a Panasonic FZ20, but I've just purchased a Nikon D50 DSLR which is absolutely stunning, so the new pictures should be far better...









and a huge panorama from the White Horse.

Excellent, thanks for sharing them Harry, do share more! Love the pic of All Saints Church, its such an impressive building and the way the sunlight is reflecting onto the top of the Church really captures its beauty.

I like the church pic and especially the sheep under the bush. It makes me think of something biblical. Only I can't think what. Anybody know why? Anybody know the bible well or seen a pic like that in a biblical film?

The only Biblical thing I remeber about a bush is when one was on fire!! Cannot remember anything else about the story though!

Thanks for the comments, I only started using a camera 2 years ago so it's good to know they are appreciated. I mainly take motorsport pictures at Castle Combe as I discovered I had a bit of a knack for that, so I don't have too many of Westbury yet, but here are a couple more...

Wow! That sky is amazing...... I spend alot of time looking at and appreciating the sky... with all the various cloud formations and the colours.... was looking up at the clouds whilst driving the other day actually until i started veering a little too far left!!
Seriously there is nothing better than a beautiful sky to gaze up at.

Excellent again.
The GT40 one is my favourite.
You'll have to post some more in a seperate post.
You should set up a site selling your pics to the drivers (if you don't already.)
I know others who do.

Wow, Harry those pictures are amazing. Like the church one especially. All the Castle Coombe ones are great. Smiley

Some great shots Harry Smiley. Isn't it amazing how a covering of snow makes things stand out!

I have some pics that I could add, will do so when I have more time, think I might go for some 'different' ones rather than what I'd call my best ones.

No they were taken with my Panasonic FZ20 which I've just sold, I've only just bought the D50 with 18-55mm kit lens, I will be saving over the winter months for a telephoto lens ready for next season.

Those Castle Combe pictures are excellent.  I tried taking some pictures of go-carts last year and was hopeless at panning the  shot; I'm dead impressed.
