We set about identical quests ( I, on Rathlin and P2, at Ballydown) – to go to our hedge and search within, for places which were deep, dark and dense.

The telescope was positioned to pinpoint the chosen spot within the hedge. We then took two photographs.

For the first, the camera, with the flash on , was to be held lens down into the cardboard telescope and focused upon the view at the end.

For the second, with the flash off, the camera was to be carefully manoeuvred into the deep, dark, dense place to take the photograph.

The image above represents the discussion we had around the images I had taken here on Rathlin and put up on the whiteboard for P2 coming back into the classroom.
