I'd always considered the National Trust as being relatively unfriendly towards photographers. As well as the "no tripods" rule, there's usually been a ban on taking pictures inside their buildings. Things must be changing, though, as I was actively encouraged to use my camera inside Blickling Hall, so long as I didn't use flash. Light levels were low, but I still managed to capture some of the amazing interior of this place.
The pictures are a mixture of single images and three-shot HDRs. All were hand-held, and the majority were taken at ISO3200. The 5DmkII still astonishes me sometimes...
what’s underneath the stairscase
ReplyDeleteIt's a large, open entrance hall, if memory serves. Try googling "Blickling Hall Staircase" and you'll find other shots which show more of the staircase surroundings.
