Wimpole Hall

[Paul Lange]

Belted it down all day with rain so photography was limited to indoors. Not done much with these other than a quick going over. Quite a few hope it's not an overload.At some point I will work on some and probably junk others. I particularly like the tins in the pantry and may experiment with some CP but maintain the slight orange tint instead of the standard yellow.

A very nice series Paul. I really like the cart under stairs, the first of the bell shots and the spade on the wall but, in any case, they make a good series. The first two lamps are very atmospheric and I can imagine the second one coming up very nicely with some moody PP.

 

[Ralph Thornton]

I agree with Pete -- a nice series. My fav is the 6th one down, the one after the bottle line-up. I'd probably do something to remove the rope in the lower foreground though. Thanks for posting these.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks Pete & Ralph. If I can sum up the motivation I'll try to clone the rope out, if not I will crop it out

*2, *3, and *6 for me That's a lovely series full of interest. It's raining here now and I've been enjoying looking at all the details. (It made me long for duck eggs ). I could spend hours in a place like that but we only have two rather small-scale ones like that on the island, so thanks so much for sharing. And is that an old Bentall hand corn mill in the second from last?

Cheers,

Kate

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks, I think it is Kathrine but not sure. TBH I paid no attention to what it was when I took the shoot, just liked the angle.

 

[Paul Lange]

I've processed the shots now and organised them into groups of smaller series for the most part. Lets start with the lamps:

Series 1

Series 2

This is a series that was really shot for my conceptual project but I will stick them here anyway.

Love the tools and the old lamp Paul. You've good a really good series going there.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks Pete, I'm starting to think that your a guy who likes old hand tools?

 

[Pete Askew]

You're right there. Maybe it's because I have old hands!!

Some smashing stuff their Paul - especially like the cast iron heybridge one with the limited DOF - very much my cup 'o tea.

Looks like the Hall was a cornucopia of still life opportunities then?

The wax figure of the girl is very life like..
