A beautiful spot near Knockholt in Kent, with uninterrupted views and only the distant roar of the M25 in the bottom of the valley to moan about :-)
This was taken at sunset, but the sky was blown out and not very interesting anyway, so I replaced it with "Dramatic sunset #1" in Luminar 4. Which is not clever enough to replace the sky in the water, and I'm not clever enough to work out how to do it either, haha.
Ightham Mote, Ightham, Kent is a medieval moated manor house. The architectural writer John Newman describes it as "the most complete small medieval manor house in the county". Ightham Mote and its gardens are owned by the National Trust and are open to the public - or will be again soon hopefully.
Default Local Tone mapping applied in Paintshop Pro works wonders to accentuate the sky and lift the shadows on the ground. I wish Lightroom (5.7) had it built in too..
I've often wondered why nothing else seems to grow on pine forest floors. The reason seems to be that they grow in soil that is nutrient-limited, where deciduous plants and trees would find it hard to grow. And when they shed their needles, the needles break down slowly and make the soil even more nutrient-limited. Tannins in the needles are also acidic and leach out into the soil, making it even harder for other deciduous plants and trees to get nutrients.

I still have this camcorder because I need to digitize a bunch of tapes. I have tried it and I have come to the conclusion that it is easier to pay someone to do it for me.
As I was about to upload my image I realized that the person before did almost the same thing. Oh well. I think 8mm preceded Mini DV.
