This Aerial picture of Newbury was taken in May 1999 and shows the Market Place, Town Hall, St Nicolas Church, the Town Bridge and the Newbury Lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Just to the right of St Nicholas Church Tower is a tennis court on the roof???

No.


Threep.

Quoted from Threepwood

No.

What...am I wrong again.??? I don't believe it!
So what is it Treestump?

Zoon lenses often have a foreshortening effect as they compress the depth of field.

Ask nicely and I'll tell you.

I'd be everso grateful if you would kindly explain what a zoon lens is please?

Yes of course it is, get your T shirt and shorts on, grab a racket and few balls (not Threep's)and you and Threep can play a few sets. The first to fall over the edge is the loser  :)

With those 'Zoon lenses' you must be able to see the 15lb Carp just alongside the barge moored on the first bend after the lock...!
Nope! I will not bow to the almighty and display any more ignorance than I need..
Oh.. go on then..what is a field? And yes.. how deep do they grow?

It's what you get if you cross an 'm' with a rather agreeable Armagnac.

Without the stacking effect it looks less like a tennis pitch (wicket?) and more like a.... a roof.

Court is the word you want.

Is it? dunno anything about Tennis, all too middle class and sterile for me...

Oh hang on, is that the one with the Scottish idiot who said he'd support anyone playing against England and didn't want to bow to the Queen..and then whinged that the crowd didn't always seem to get behind him?


Threep.

Definitely not a tennis court

Are you sure?

If it's taken with a zoom lens, it's at infinity so it wouldn't really have much impact on depth of field, but I was tempted to get an ABM T-shirt made up.

Yeah, but that's deep focus, and that's mainly a function of aperture size and the focal length of the lens.


ABM T shirt? Put me down for one.

Threep.

Ah we are going into 'class' now are we.. and what class do you put your good self in.. and how are you authorised to do that?
Do you know anything about the so called 'class system'..and who determines where the lines are drawn.. lets leave it..it can get very annoying to say the least..CLASS DOESN'T EXIST.. and anyone who thinks it does smells(polite!) and need putting in their place rather sharply...

Ah yes Tennis...that great working class sport.
