Ickworth House

[Paul Lange]

As I live quite close and enjoy going there I'm often there taking photos. I'm not really into architecture but I do like this building. It is much better from the back, the front is quite boring and has too many trees obscuring the view. It has taken me a while to get to grips with my super wide as it is only really usable at a select range of focal lengths and f stops and it took me a while to work out what they were.

These I like because they are actually what I had in my head when I took them.

This is a B&W version in my current favourite B&W preset that I have come up with.

It's a great place to visit if you get the chance.

A great place to photograph Paul having grown up in the area one of the first ever places I took photo's with my MTL5 lol

Number 2 is my favorite. Both Color and B&W. Why is that building round, Paul? Was it an observatory or something?

Thanks.

Cheers for the comments guys. The building was a stately home and just designed that way. It has the central circular part and a wing each side that is curved and then straightens out. I heard that originally the family run out of money halfway through and one wing was either built or completed much later.

They did the extension wing was added about 50 years after the main house
