paul connor Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Out again, visiting a few site for the first time in many a year..and logging info and the vast amout of unclassified structure types in the area.. As well as some very rare finds and items... Area camo blends in nice with the country house wall,not a pillbox as such but a loop holed wall.. in Private grounds, but I do like the interior touches..just hope there was nothing pencilled on the walls by soldiers:( Nice example of Anti Tank defences "dragons teeth" anti tank blocks.. and very good condition and all still in situe.. the Coffin road block ones cant be seen.. shame or would be nice and complete area.. covered by a pillbox as well. loop holed wall, most people would not even notice it! ha, until it was too late one room, underground pillbox, in poor condition, roof is seperated from the walls and the walls are not holding up well to the test of time.. one loop hole.. nice example of a area constructed pillbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul connor Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Do any photo buffs know the best way to take a picture of a white wall with pencil drawings on in the dark? as im struggling to get good pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m uk Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Very interesting stuff, in particular I like the soldier art - a very important part of social history study. Well done on a very interesting post. Good luck with taking those pictures. I guess all soldiers that manned these bleak posts were bored out of their brains, last summer I found some very remote and seldom visited German bunkers on the norther coast of France, they were full of period graffiti !

Tony B Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Do any photo buffs know the best way to take a picture of a white wall with pencil drawings on in the dark? as im struggling to get good pictures Use a tripod or monopod if tight for room. Most digital cameras have a natural light setting and auto bracketing, that helps. A pice of toilet paper over the flash will diffuse it and avoids flaring. If you are really serious, try a ring flash. The type you see on CSI that go right round the lenses. Another trick is to up angle the flash and bounce it off a sheet of white paper or card.
