The shot inside the West Kennet burial mound was taken by the light of a candle which some Hippie/Druid had placed there. I used a noctilux at 30th sec at f1 about 25ft from the entrance. The candle flame was billowing about which probably accounts for the "light bulb" look although I didn't expect that at a 30th. Films Tri-X @400 and Agfa Vista 400. There are also some shots related to the 18th century poet William Cowper and Morris Men, a quintessential example of English eccentricity.
