Apologies Simon, I've been away from the site for a few years and only recently came back. I'm still learning the ropes again. Weirdly, I did edit my judging comment to add a 2nd and 3rd place but didn't click the right button to save the edits and lost the extra comments. I know for future and if and when I am in that position will spend more time. Thanks for the feedback too.

Ricoh Imaging, The Flash Centre and Forgotten Heritage are hosting a 645Z experience day at the normally closed to the public wind tunnels at the Royal Aircraft Establishment. The tunnels are housed within listed buildings and are in amazing condition, certainly excellent subjects for high definition mdeium format photography. Lighting experts from the Flash Centre will be on hand to help you light the tunnels using Elinchrom pro lighting kit. Take a look at this link for more info and if you'd like to book one of the ten places then a link to the Flash Centre website is also in there.
It should be an amazing day!

Thanks for the comments folks. The camera is astounding in the detail it produces, expected from a medium format I know but it has to be seen the be believed. The locations are stunning and the photography is my excuse to get out and see them. That's what I tell my other half anyway.

Thanks John. Man after my own heart I see. Can't beat a bit of AD&D Intend to start DM'ing for my two sons soon now they're both reaching the right age, great stuff to improve creative thinking and problem solving.

Thank Smudge, the 645Z makes light work of locations with a tonne of texture and small details. Processing the images keeps on surprising you, mainly when you zoom in really close to discover it's still incredibly sharp.

I recently put up a post of 20 of the better images I have taken using the 645Z. Apologies the post is on Facebook, so I hope linking externally is allowed? The camera completely blew me away after Ricoh loaned it to me with a set of lenses for a few location shoots and a trip to Italy.
If anyone interested in taking a look then here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/ForgottenHeritagePhotography/posts/838110819612620

Impressive photography well displayed on your new website. I agree with the comments about the text colour. It may visually suit some of the gloomy interiors, but it doesn't fulfil the primary requirement of any text: to be easily read.

Your captions are rather too economical, perhaps. I'd be interested in more detail, at a minimum identifying the places you've photographed.

Nass's points about improving the site's 'findability' are all good.

Btw I'm not sure what a 'classic English castle' is, but I'm doubtful your castle, in the 'Historic' section, is one. It may have started out as an approximation to one, but it's been extensively remodelled and 'improved'.

These are all nitpicks compared to your primary achievement. Thanks for sharing.
Whoa, just checked out your link, your shot across the river at Greenwich is fantastic.
