Description
This image was taken at lacock Abbey, in wiltshire. It's the location of several key scenes in the Harry Potter films, doubling for Hogwarts.Getting the exposure was tricky but I bracketed and got there in the end.
I'd advise a full view.
Canon 5D, Sigma 12-24mm lens @ 12mm
Iso 400, 1/500th sec @ f6.3

Ha! Thanks, yes that's the joy of a really wide lens. It makes small rooms look massive

Thank you, the exposure was a bit of a night mare, the highlights nearly blew out.

Thanks.
Hahaha, I enjoyed the first film, but I get bored with the 2nd and I didn't bother with any of the others. So I'm not a fan either. The books...well I don't get the time. But I do get the time to go out and enjoy my local area with my family. This place is just a few miles away from my home and it's a very interesting Abbey.

I thought I could recognize the architecture somewhere! I really like the use of the wide angle lens, when used wisely it can really enhance architectural features... Nicely done, oh wise one!

I thought this was an hdr at first, really nice job on the exposure.
That can't be pronounced the same as it looks.... can it?

Thanks, i did max the "recovery" slider in Lightroom though! But it's a single frame, no HDR or montage. Taken in Raw and extracted the best that i could.
Hehehe, it's pronounced "Lay-cock", I don;t know if that's better or worse!

Oh, dear..... that IS worse.... there are so many horrible puns available. I... I can't help myself....
Well, everyone's got to be part of the Body, right? Some are hands, some feet, some eyes... they just got the shaft. Oh, there I go again. The puns are inescapable.

I love everything about this picture, the colors, the light, the sharpness, the angle, the feel of freshness and spring. It's great that the light shapes on the stone floor aren't over exposed !
