This is a National Trust property near Aylesbury. The images were captured last Wednesday (18th April) using a K-70 and DFA 28-105.

The first one is my favourite. I hadn't realised Waddesdon was quite so Disney-castle-esque. Must visit!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thank you, Kris. It's a lovely place, well worth visiting (note - closed Mondays and Tuesdays), but perhaps better to avoid weekends - it's very popular!

Cheers.

It is indeed a lovely place. A French chateaux in Bucks !

The aviaries are very interesting there too,

A glittering showcase of a spectacular place. You've caught it in all its glory with good light (the sun not too harsh), and your set conveys a tantalising taste of all the angles and vistas available. I imagine it rewards plenty more explorations as well ..... I hope you have a few more up your sleeve Philip!

Lovely sharp well composed images, I really like the way the sun has illuminated the backlit tulips in no. 4.
