fountains abbey

here is the blurb..... this is part of fountains abbey

The Cellarium
Amazingly the cellarium roof has remained intact and the lay brothers ate, slept
and socialised here, beneath the incredible vaulted ceiling which escaped Henry
VIII’s brutal sixteenth century dissolution of the abbeys.

it was reallllly dark down here...... had to leave the shutter open a long time to let in enough light for this one!!

thank you!! i agree the first one was better, i swapped the second one for another. here is another i took of the cross right at the end of the cellarium..
by the way, these are HDR shots but using photomatix software rather than photoshop.

Amazing shots Fee, don't you just love t he old buildings in the UK
we have nothing like that in Australia.

WOW , super captures, they almost have a "pencil art" feel to them adding a wonderful character, great colours and tones.
Well done FEE - and thanks for sharing
John:D

thanks again! i'm lucky that i have fountains abbey on my doorstep. i go there often just for a walk.

i prefer the photomatix for hdr because i like the 'surreal' look it gives you over photoshop. you can control how 'surreal' you want it to look. it wouldnt suit all photos of course but for old buildings it looks great.

fantastic Fee i'd love to go here and have a shoot

there is sooo much you can take piccies of, the pretty river, outside the abbey, inside the abbey, deer, a lake, etc etc etc...

Wow

Fee these are amazing!
The one of the Cross is Great!
What are the chances of getting the full file so I can print it?

Griz: Where the heck have you been? Haven't seen you for awhile

I've been spending all my time rebuilding the deck in our back yard!
Our youngest decided it was time to get married and he wants a garden wedding, in our yard, on the deck.
The deck was in "iffy" condition, the framing had a bad case of dry rot and I was afraid it wouldn't stand up to the stress.
Last thing I need is for it to collapse under the wedding party
So I'm rebuilding it.
It was going to be my summer project this year anyway, Jon's request just shortened this schedule a little

It's sweet you missed me

Huge job Griz, good luck with the deck and congrats on your sons wedding. Nice to see you back. I took a look at the photos you have a huge yard. Nice for a wedding. Sorry Fee for hijacking your thread. hugs

Thanks Emmie

My middle son got married in the backyard,,, 6 years ago (the deck was in much better shape back then)
It was very nice. He only gave us 2 weeks notice so we didn't have time to get too worked up.
Planted a few flowers and that was about it.
I'm glad Jon gave us a little more notice or I'd have had to say no
The deck "might" have made it, but I'd've been a wreck *lol*

I'll post some more pics as I get things done
