Found Items for me, good rich colours and texture, only slight drawback is the shadow to the right. You can see the noise, but given the "old" subject do not think that's a bad thing.
Nice one.

Nice set Andrew,I won't pick a favourite as they all have their own merits.
Do you have an on-line gallery with these posted as a set?

Andrew - very nice. It's such an atmospheric place. Been twice as have friend with a cottage in Sticklepath. Are they still trying to raise money for restoring that side wall? I Have some shots but need to get around to the Photobox thing in order to post them.(I think the Lamp is #1 for me)

I think it's been done: the place was out of action a couple of years ago, but is fully functioning now. Lucky you to have access to a cottage in Sticklepath!Are they still trying to raise money for restoring that side wall?
As for Photobox...
1) reduce image size first
2) create a new named album in Photobox
3) upload images from your hard drive
4) save to new album
5) hovering over each shot brings up an option box
6) right click on bottom option (copy)
7) back in Pentax User, paste the name/link
I think I've remembered this correctly. Believe me, if I can do it anyone can. Once you've done it once...etc.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Andrew - Thank you for the step by step. Am off for a week but will have a go on return. As you say - do it once... Did you frequent that amazing pub on the same side of road as Foundry. Lovely timewarp place AND serves St Austell Tanners at £2.20 or something close

Before I get CAMRA down on me - make that Tinners not Tanners....

What a good set Andrew (as usual). I have a couple of weeks annual leave coming up soon and your photo sets always inspire me to plan days out! Found Items is a beaut (thought so from the Gallery too) but I also find myself drawn to the Blacksmith's tools... not sure why. Think maybe I'd like to have a go at some of that metal-bashing...

Thanks everyone. Glad they struck a chord. I have to say this place deserves the close attention of a photographer with a camera fitted with a top class sensor which operates well at high ISO and mounted on a tripod. Not the quick hand held whip-round it got from me and the K100!
Best wishes,
Andrew

Good job nonetheless Andrew - you've managed to capture the essence of the place. Great justification for a K-x though, all the same...
Just how old would that timberwork be? It would drive Roger (Coker) into a frenzy, I'm sure.

There was a recnt restoration so some of the timber is new but of the correct variety. They had trouble getting the right stuff. Some of the oldest beams date from the early nineteenth century.

Wonderful set again Andrew. So enjoyed every single shot. Maybe its these weary eyes but to me 'hand held' is fine and additional light would, IMHO, have spoiled the mood. Thank you.
