Thanks to Elizabeth and Peter for more pictures taken yesterday.
It was Palm Sunday yesterday, and Elizabeth sent me a picture of the Palm Sunday Procession round St Helen’s Church beside the River Thames in Abingdon. Palm Sunday commemorates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, when people welcomed him with palm branches, and the people in yesterday’s procession carried crosses made from palm leaves.
Peter sent me some more pictures taken during the Spring Head rowing yesterday. Here is one rower after the race near Abingdon Bridge.
Here are rowers going under Abingdon Bridge.
A picture from the bridge looking down giving a feeling of movement.
And from Nags Head Island near Abingdon Bridge
Excellent photo coverage of the Spring Head on the Abingdon stretch of the Thames, so good to see the river being used for both sport and pleasure. Well done to all who gave their time make the event a success!
Getting all eight rowers and the cox to be seen behind the tree was quite tricky. Solution – high speed motor drive burst and fingers crossed.
The impression of movement was made by choosing a slow shutter speed.
More tricks can be learnt every other Thursday, including this Thursday, at the Abingdon Camera Club.
