Anvh- I have just had a look at the B&W photos from your link. I know that you have used them to illustrate long exposures, but I am not sure that the 'ghosts' add anything to the shots. In fact, I think it could be argued that they detract from images which are already loaded with significance.

Just out of curiosity, does the golf club employ people to smooth the 'green' between succesive groups of players?
I like both pictures, and I guess the strong light (and short shadow to No 2) confirms where you are!

First time I have seen the article, very interesting. I am in agreement with some of the follow up comments, I too had expected the napalm woman from Vietnam, and the man and tank fron Tiannamen square. Nice to see a balance of posotive and negative images though, and the iconic zeppelin image that was later given a somewhat phallic emphasis on the classic album cover.

The main thing to bear in mind is that you will need to insulate the roof and floors. It looks like a cavity wall construction to the walls, additional insulation can be applied to the interior face, but most heat loss will occur through the roof, so fit 75mm expanded polyurethane foam betwen the rafters, but allow adequate ventilation below the roof finish (slates?) and above the insulation by allowing a 25mm air gap vented to the eaves and ridge. This is to resist condensation occuring on the roof timbers. I would lay the wooden floor on to 50x50mm treated sw bearers at 400 centres (to take standard size ply sheets) and insulate with 50mm expanded polyurethane foam cut to fit between the bearers.
If this is too much detail, apologies! If you want more, PM me for a fuller description.

Can you remove this post in case anyone responds?

It is very tiresome, but the advanced search can sort out a lot of junk, and the criteria can be saved for the next time. By omitting references to repair-manual-cd-usb-cable the search results for 'pentax' dropped by 900 items.
Any other useful omission categories?

'Will it work?'

Almost certainly, after all, it now appears for free in a completely unrelated forum....
