All the People on the Long Walk

Usually, in my photos I am trying to get rid of any people. I will often use multiple exposures to blend out people from the shot. Today, it is the exact opposite. The number of people in the shot is the point. Back to Windsor Great Park and the Long Walk that comes out from the castle to the statue of George III. It is a long road and, since plenty of people use it, a long lens can really emphasise the number of people. Here are a lot of them!

The Long Walk from Both Ends

Windsor Great Park has a long, straight road that aligns with the castle, known as the Long Walk. We started our day out in Windsor itself and walked around the castle to the beginning of the Long Walk. I took some photos looking out into the park with the many people walking up the road. However, we weren’t going to join them yet.

We drove to the other side of the Great Park to have a longer walk (get it) around the parklands. As part of this route, we did end up at the statue of George III on his horse at the other end of the Long Walk. From here you have a great view back towards the castle. There were loads of people at the statue. Most had clearly walked up from the town and would be heading back. We were heading in a different direction, though.
