Haddon Hall

by johnriley

This Derbyshire mansion is a favourite haunt of mine. I took the blue channel to get the same colour response as an early black and white "ordinary" film would have given. The I used CS5's HDR Tonemapping to alter the tonal values to suit. Finally Levels for a tweaking of the contrast.

Well taken John, it looks suitably brooding and medieval. This is also one of my favourite places and I would highly recommend it to any other members who happen to be in the Derbyshire area. It's far more interesting than Chatsworth.

We have an antique shop locally which calls itself Haddon Hall - nice to see such a rendering of the real thing!

A lovely image and when viewed large all the detail in the building becomes clearly visible. I wouldn't mind seeing the colour version too, I love old red brick. Sally
