<p>Mamiya 6MF,  Mamiya G 150mm f/4.5 L, Ektachrome E100SW, digitised by photographing the original 60mm transparency on a light pad; tethered capture in Lightroom.<br />
<br />
Note (2026.09.27): This is a reposting of a redeveloped image; basically I have lifted the shadows a touch. On the basis of this image, I got ChatGPT to do the calculations necessary to determine the focal length used, and then to determine the exact camera position and time of the photo. from the astronomical data.  It turned out that my assigned GPS coordinates were about 50m away - they had been estimated by memory over 25 years after the photo. was taken.  <br />
<br />
ChatGPT: &quot;I would currently write the reconstruction in the following form:<br />
Ring of Brodgar, 18/19 July 1997, approximately 00:39 BST. Mamiya 6MF, almost certainly 150 mm f/4.5. Camera approximately on the north-western side of the ring, probably within the ditch, about 33 m from the largest standing stone. Camera level by a two-axis spirit level. Optical axis approximately 230° (SW). Moon approximately 232° azimuth and 2.2° apparent altitude.<br />
And that is remarkably self-consistent.&quot;<br />
<br />
The Ring of Brodgar (or Brogar, or Ring o' Brodgar) is a Neolithic henge and stone circle around 10km north-east of Stromness on the Mainland, the largest island in Orkney, Scotland. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney. (Wikipedia, edited)<br />
