This shot makes use of reduced depth of field. I opened up the lens in order to throw the background out of focus. I scanned the original negative again in July 2005 and obtained an improved image with more detail. |

Maiden Castle Polton 645 x 1024 277K |
Photographed in the late '70s or early '80s when there was still some activity at the factories / warehouses beside Polton Bank. The car was probably stolen by joyriders before being dumped here. These buildings have long since disappeared. The area is to be a park / nature reserve soon. Original negative scanned again in 2005. |
