Put together the last of the 5 structures last night & this morning but then I faced a bit of a dilemma ?

Do I place and fix all the structures then build the scenary around them or do I try and put the scenary around the footprints of the buildings then place them at the end.

After much debating I decided on the first option and spent this morning sticking everything down !

I realise working in tight spots and around the buildings isnt going to be easy but this is a challenge and I think doing it this way round will result in a much better finish, with the scenary looking more at home around the structures.

With all this activity and having the main scene as set as it was ever going to be, it spurred me on (despite the cold !!) to pack the car up, venture off to a random field, take advantage of the hazy sunshine and do a test shoot.

Only took a small selection of stock and obviously you will have to turn a blind eye to the un weathered bits and bare wood in places but overall i'm glad I went out and tried a few pics as the results have given me loads of inspiration & a bit of focus on what to do next and where to go with the whole project.

Took nearly 150+ shots but I will pick out a few and post 5 at a time over the next few days along with other blog ramblings about stuff thats done & needs doing ! I'm liking stuff in B&W at the minute so both colour & greyscale versions are posted below. A lot of these work better in B&W in my opinion but with both versions posted you can decided what works best for you.

Anyway, welcome to Brookestone Quarry folks, work in progess, but officially open for business !

Hope you enjoy the view.................................................................................................................
