ILCE-7R A7R with ZEISS DISTAGON F2.8 21MM Sample Photo 540199 By bajanexile
Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber
Notes
Shot last week in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, UK. Metabones Canon EF to Sony E Mount Adapter Mark III.<br />
The dolmen dates from approximately 3,500 B.C. and, possibly, was used as a communal burial. The existing stones form the portal and main chamber of the tomb, which would originally have been covered by a large mound of stones about 30 metres (98 ft) long and 17 m wide. As it now stands, the Pentre Ifan Dolmen is a collection of 7 principal stones. The largest is the huge capstone, 5 metres (16 ft) l
The composition here is wonderful. Dolmens are not particularly easy to get good shots of, and you did a really nice job. There seems to be a perfect balance of the heavy groundedness of the vertical stones, with a light, floating feeling from the suspended stone. Trees in the background frame the dolmen perfectly. Great job!
Thanks Philippe, your comments are much appreciated. Steve
