CaCo3

Chalk to those that have forgotten their chemistry lessons!
I'm a bit slow getting this post up due to a huge backlog of images I've shot this summer but better late than never.
My chums Fern Alder and Heidi Harvey won silver for their show garden at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show.
Congratulations girls and to all those that helped make a rather dusty field in Surrey whiter than white. They can now officially say 'as seen on TV' as the BBC did a special feature about how and where they got their inspiration from -the Kent countryside of course.
Lots more info on Fern's website www.spacefx.net and on the BBC site for a 360 view

But no one got this shot as it meant waiting until dusk, despite having been there since 6am to get the morning light. Thanks to digital capture I managed to get the projection and chalk backdrop. Something that film could never do and most people at the show never saw because the sun bleached everything.
