The whole series was very well done. Your architecture photos are always top notch. Now the questions 😁: Was this a ceiling? Does the choice of subjects in those paintings relate to the family identity? And what lens(es) do you use for these buildings?
Thank you Tom, you are very kind. Yes, definitely a ceiling. Camera held near floor level with a swivel screen to help with the shot. The painting dates from 1500s and features a Tudor rose and a now extinct hunting dog called a Talbot dog, presumably significant to the owners at the time. With regards cameras I am not a dedicated photographer as such I just like taking images when I am out and about so the majority of pictures are taken on a Nikon B700 at the wider end of its zoom lens settings.

Very nice photos, Peter. There was a gentleman in photo 2 ans it seems he was finding out his way ;)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to see all the aspects of the structure. I'm very confused by the couches. Does someone live there?
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, yes the current Lord and Lady Manners still own Haddon Hall and reside there.
DeleteGreat tour - thanks Peter!
ReplyDeleteYou answer to Nancy's question clarifies it all. The place did seem to be very well preserved.
ReplyDeleteNice capture
