Guernsey 09 - Castle Cornet, St Peter Port

After visiting the Bathing Poolsin St Peter Port and a spot of Lunch we met up at Castle Cornet with the Guernsey Photo Clubs. One of their members, Steve, is involved with the Castle and gave us a guided tour. I was fascinated by his talk, so much so I forgot to take photos !!. Here are just a few images.

More information can be found here on Wikipedia

Thank you Steve for a fascinating afternoon.

Guernsey 08 - St Peter Port Bathing Pools

The Bathing Pools in St Peter Port are a great area for playing with 'Big Stopper Filters'. These are neutral density filters that reduce the amount of light by 10 stops.

A Tripod was obviously used.
