Assignment 1 - research

Location hunting in the Hilsea lines 

Went off to Hilsea Lines to check out possible locations for a portrait shoot. I really like this place -the remains of a line of 18th and 19th century fortifications built to protect the northern approach of Portsea Island, part of Portsmouth city and its naval base. And luckily it has the advantage of being a short drive from home.

The Lines area a popular destination for dog walkers and walkers alike as paths twist through woodland and around overgrown bastions. I just love the over grown and sometimes derelict brickwork and how some small businesses have taken over the inside of gun casements..

P776: F4.5 @ 1/100  18mm ISO 400

Looking for a possible picture 'frame'.....

P777 Alternative approach ....possible useful for an action shot or looking up towards the model? Would need to consider time of day and weather to achieve the right kind of lighting for whatever pose worked.
