We hope you enjoy creating memorable images this month!

Have fun, but stay safe and well…

——

Any R System images (stills or movies) can be posted. If you would like to say something about the subject, settings, or processing, that will be very welcome.

Remember, you don't have to only post things you took this month - sometimes people don't get around to processing/ editing images straight away. (Think of it more as an ‘images I’d like to post here this month’ thing). Images taken with non-R System lenses are also very welcome as this adds to the interest.

Images posted on this thread will be available to view in the Monthly R System Images Gallery, which can be found Here.

Commenting on people’s posts is encouraged, as it keeps everyone interested and coming back. (Please try to be considerate, thoughtful and constructive).

We aim to provide feedback - but note we will be away for much of July (and busy with ‘life stuff’). The lack of a comment from us is not a sign of any disfavour!

Finally, please post in accordance with the RF Shooters Community Guidelines.

Thank you!

Images from our recent visit to Lulworth Castle, Lulworth, Devon, England.

(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels).

1. Thomas Howard built Lulworth Castle between 1608 and 1610 as a hunting lodge to entertain royalty and the aristocracy. In 1641 Humphrey Weld purchased Lulworth Estate to complement his manor house at Bindon Abbey in the nearby village of Wool. The Manor House was destroyed by Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. After the war Weld refurbished the Castle’s interior and this property then became the main family home.

2. The castle was ravaged by fire in 1929 and over the next 70 years it gradually fell into a perilous state of decay. A partnership was eventually formed between the Weld Estate and English Heritage and by 1998 the exterior had been restored with the interior being consolidated and the castle was opened to the public.

3. Originally the bottom part of this tower was used as a secondary kitchen to service important visitors and their entourage, ‘the King’s Kitchen’ was altered when Humphrey Weld bought the castle with part of the original kitchen becoming the Housekeeper’s sitting room and the ground floor area being divided into the Butler’s Rooms.

5. St Andrew’s Church sits to the south of the Castle. The 15th-century tower predates the Castle, with the remainder of the Church being rebuilt in 1864 - the plans having been drawn up by a young Thomas Hardy.

6. In 1786 Thomas Weld engaged architect John Tasker to build St. Mary’s Chapel. Reputed to be one of the finest pieces of Georgian architecture in the county, it sits within the grounds of the Castle. (Photography is not permitted inside the Church).

As always, beautiful, informative images that really give a feel of the place and the times. From the over-arching images to the detailed images, I love the way you present them and make me feel like I should be there.

Hi Hali,

Thank you for your extremely kind feedback - much appreciated!

It's very gratifying to hear people are enjoying our images... :)

Lulworth Castle was a delight to visit - and a joy to photograph.

I'm in Bridgeport, CA, for July 4 and the city is preparing for the festivities. I walked the town at sunset and got attacked by fleets of mosquitos. This is the only decent photo I was able to get before escaping back indoors.

Hi Steven,

If you can only grab one shot, this is very worthy outcome.

The subject is beautifully lit with the detail being perfectly presented, all set against a very pleasing and complimentary atmospheric backdrop. Sublime.

Well done - and thank you for braving the mozzies for us... :)

Phil and Karen


(Fortunately for Karen, when we were still doing the exotic shores travel, she only had to stand near me to be perfectly safe from nasty things as I appear to have 'BITE HERE' printed on my forehead in mosquito language... 😅).

In the meantime, here are some images from our recent visit to Greenway, Galmpton, Devon, England.

(Shot raw and processed with: DxO PL Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels. The compilations are a mix of R7 - Karen and R5 - Phil).

You can find out more about Greenway by clicking Here and about Agatha Christie by clicking Here.

Phil and Karen


1. There has been a house here for over 400 years. In the 16th century a Tudor mansion known as Greenway Court was built for the Gilbert family who were leading soldiers and seafarers (and who also received patents to establish colonies in Ireland, Newfoundland and Maine).

RF-S-GW1.jpg
  • Canon EOS R5
  • RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
  • 19.0 mm
  • ƒ/8
  • 1/640 sec
  • ISO 200


2. The Georgian house which sits here today was built in the 18th-century. Dame Agatha Christie purchased Greenway in 1938 and spent summer holidays and Christmases here relaxing with her family. (Agatha Christie is the author of 66 detective novels and is acknowledged as the best-selling fiction author of all time - her book sales are only exceeded by The Bible and the works of William Shakespeare).

RF-S-GW2.jpg
  • Canon EOS R5
  • RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
  • 33.0 mm
  • ƒ/6.3
  • 1/125 sec
  • ISO 6400


3. The family were avid collectors and Greenway houses various archaeological artefacts from the Middle East where Agatha accompanied her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan, on digs.

RF-S-GW3.jpg
  • Canon EOS R5
  • RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
  • 26.0 mm
  • ƒ/4
  • 1/125 sec
  • ISO 3200


4. Greenway sits on a hill aside the estuary of the River Dart - its Boathouse was the scene of the crime in 'Dead Man’s Folly’ and the corresponding episode of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot was filmed here.

RF-S-GW4.jpg
  • Canon EOS R5
  • RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
  • 14.0 mm
  • ƒ/8
  • 1/160 sec
  • ISO 160


5. Dartmouth was a major base for naval ‘privateering’ in medieval times - numerous ships were sent from here to join the English fleet that attacked the Spanish Armada. In 1944 Greenway was requisitioned by the U.S. Coast Guards in preparation for D-Day. During this time, a frieze was painted in the Library by Lieutenant Marshall Lee (a graphic artist).

  • Canon EOS R5
  • RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
  • 29.0 mm
  • ƒ/5.6
  • 1/125 sec
  • ISO 2000


6. When the house was returned to Agatha - on Christmas Day 1945, the U.S. Commanding Officer wrote to her offering to have the frieze painted over - she hurriedly wrote back that ‘it would be an historic memorial and I was delighted to have it’.

Another excellent set! Perspectives are always bang on. Exposures, colours are handled well.
 
I photographed the first Monarch butterfly of the season in Rhode Island last week. As we walked with my wife, this tired one was on the pavement and trying to lift itself up with no success. I extended my hand and it climbed on it, and I placed it on the grass. It was probably a little more comfortable.

It has been a scorcher this summer and wildlife has been a bit hunkered down because of the heat. I did go out to photograph fireworks a few miles from my home on July 4th in old town Manassas at the Railway Station. It was the first time I watched the fireworks at this location.

The Lancaster was in our city. My wife noticed it in the sky today so I went to the airport and they were refuelling it at the private jet area. It moved but didn't take off as it was headed to the plane museum for a show. I had to shoot through a fence. Firing up the engines was cool. We are just watched episode 3 of Masters of the Air on Apple TV but those were Fortresses.
