Re: Raedwald
Superb image Peter. I assume this is the replica or have they renovated completely? I am going to show my ignorance here, but what is a Lensbaby Composer?

Re: Raedwald
The original is in the British Museum.
The Lensbaby is selective focus lens that allows yoy to place a 'sweet spot' of focus where you want in the frame and progressively blurs the rest. you can find more information at lensbaby.com if you are interested (I don't work for them
). You either like this type of image or you don't

Re: Raedwald
....hmmm
I think the one in the BM is possibly real, it is at Sutton Hoo that they have replicas of most things, but could both be replicas as it is suspiciously clean

Re: Raedwald
Well this one is certainly a replica but as I haven't seen the one in the BM I couldn't confirm one way or the other. Dosen't detract from the beauty of the workman ship though.
