Ashridge Estate

Often simply written as "W/NW" - your favorite photos. Explain them, or let your photos (film or digital) speak for themselves.

Ashridge Estate

Post by GrahamS »

These were taken with a Pentax K10D and 18-55 f3.5-5.6 AL lens. They have all made good 12 x 16" prints although the sensor is only 6mp.
This is the Manor House from the end of the gallop.

A better view of the house.

The chapel at Ashridge.

A monument in the chapel. The plaque below the sculpture reads as follows:
NB. This Monument was firft Erected near
theCommunion Table in the Parrifh Church of
St Martins in the feilds Weftm tr Where lyeth
the Remames And on Pulling down the
faid Church it was removed hither
in the year 1730
I love 18th Century English!

Too bad that you can't do great photography with an old camera and its kit lens! ;)

When these were taken, the K10D wasn't an "old" camera and the "kit" lens was made by Schneider-Kreuznach for Pentax.
