How Do All,
I am a couple of months late posting this as I wasn't happy with the photos I took, but they've grown on me so I'll share them now.
I went the National Trust Runnymede again, site of the signing of the Magna Carta.
I wanted to try a new camera out for some KAP, an Insta 360, Ace Pro, the name is a little deceiving as its not actually a 360 camera, its actually a high quality action camera that can take 48mp stills, and is equipped with a Leica lens so the optics are of a high quality.

This is one of the stitched together panoramas which did not work out so well, but its ok for the overall picture.
My plan was to take several shots using my rotating Picavet rig to then stitch together as a panorama, however the lack of wind, wind direction and my setting of the rotation speed of the rig all worked against me, and I could not stitch the pictures I took together without mismatches in the joining/blending.
I also did not realise that the camera had an AI Pure Shot setting, which I did not turn off, that processes the picture automatically and Enhances it, not in my case! if you look at the bottom photo, the Last Survivor sculptures have been "enhanced" and lost any detail in the process. I have turned off this feature now.
Runnymede on the River Thames, looking over the meadow and the Jurors sculpture towards Staines.
The Jurors Sculpture is or are, twelve intricately worked bronze chairs that stand together on the ancient meadow at Runnymede, created by artist Hew Locke to examine the changing and ongoing significance of Magna Carta. The Jurors is not a memorial, but an invitation to sit down and reflect upon the histories depicted in the artwork.
