Some pics of the filming at Pierrefonds on 4 May

[minuialeth75]

Here are some pics that are presentable, though I'm afraid they are old news for most of you. 
I had to resort to links for the bigger ones because I couldn't figure out how to post clickable pics that you can see in a bigger size using Photobucket. And LJ was being agonisingly slow so I gave up. If someone knows...

I love, love, love Colin's ever smiling face! And he looks so comfortable on a horse. I imagine when filming for Merlin is over he's going to miss that and wonder if it's something he'll pick up to go on with for himself. That's something that happens to actors something that they have to learn something new for filming and then they stick with it, just for themselves.

Thanks for sharing!

I thought too seeing him on horses and interacting with them that he could resume horse riding once the series is finished.

One thing I didn't mention is the sound of galoping horses on the courtyard pavement. That's quite something!

My big pictures aren't as big as they should on Photobucket :-/
Would Flikr work to keep the size? (I'm a bit desperate).

I use Picasa myself for big pictures, but only to link to, because it can't be used to post pictures like you do here. I think Flickr works the same way, and I do know they keep pictures pretty damn big over there and since so many people are using it, it should be easy to find people to turn to if you have questions.

I love having a webspace. That came as a package deal with our internet connection.

And since you've got a paid account you can also use lj albums. That's what yavannauk does. cm_mod too by the way.

I have a webspace with my internet connection but the storage space is very limited so I can't use it to host big pics.
And duh, didn't think about using lj albums *facepalm*

I think we were in Pierrefonds at the same day, some of your pics look very similar to mine.

The sound of the horses galoping in the courtyard is something very specific, you can't forget it.

Men (knights) and horses... It looked like nirvana to me.

Colin looks now very comfortable on a horse, it was not exactly the case at the very beginning of the series.

I was very impressed with Eoin's talent as a horse rider. En français on dirait qu'il a une bonne "assiette", je sais c'est bizarre. His horse was getting bored and nervous because they spent a lot of time waiting and he managed to cool him down and he was really relaxed.

Do you know who was this ginger-haired woman who seemed to be in charge of the filming ?

Thanks for sharing your feelings and your pics with us.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
For the identity of the redhead woman, I'm as clueless as you. Maybe you should ask there merlinlocations, they might be more knowledgeable.

Since we stand where they tell us to stand, our pics tend to look the same, that's true. If you noticed a woman with short blond hair and glasses, wearing a blue sweater and tight jeans, that was me :o)

The description of your outfit that day rings a bell but as you say, there were quite a few people there.

I'm still floating some feet above the ground since last week, strange and fascinating feeling.

Merci encore pour le récit et les photos.
