Busy taking pix while the light is good. A busy day of photography (500 pix?) might be followed by two days of picture editing. I generally take three shots of everything: one ‘correctly’ exposed, according to what I feel at the time, plus one stop either side. This gives me the option, while editing, of picking the best of the three exposures… and deleting the other two. It’s a way of working that would have been rather extravagant in the days of film.
In the history of film there’s no more important place than Lacock, where I kipped last night. William Fox Talbot was the first person to fix an image into a sheet of coated paper (though French historians would disagree, citing Daguerre instead). That first image of 1835 depicted a window of his home, Lacock Abbey, now looked after - as is the whole of Lacock village - by the National Trust…
