Sutton Hoo
Today started off pretty grim (it got better later) so we headed off to Sutton Hoo, site of a 7th century Anglo-Saxon ship burial. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to try out my little used "nifty fifty". This is a replica of the helmet that was unearthed and reconstructed - the original is in the British Museum.

Re: Sutton Hoo
Wow; that is just tremendous detail...
At f/2 it's blurred off the background nicely, but unfortunately has also left the nose, eyebrows & crown a little soft...Cheers;

Re: Sutton Hoo
The guided tours are definitely worth doing. Lots of good info and you get to enter the areas roped off to the other visitors.Canon 5D3, 7D2, 60D, Canon 70-200L f2.8 IS II, Canon 300 f4L IS, Canon 16-35 f4 L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Canon 1.4 MkIII extender, Sigma AF 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD, Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS

Re: Sutton Hoo
Yes, we spotted them when out looking at the mounds. We also noticed that the guide had started to lose the interest of some of the group. Perhaps they just had a short attention span!Chris
