Tate Britain - The Other Staircase

There seems to be very little written about Tate Britain's colorful staircase other than it is the work of David Tremlett who, in 2011, was asked to create a work for the entrance of the Manton Hall at Tate Britain titled 'Drawing for Free Thinking'. I greatly enjoyed photographing it both in wide view from various positions and some double exposures of the details.

Cambourne Business Park

A bit of distraction photography after the supermarket errand this morning but in very poor light and very windy. I had fun setting a recipe in Nik Color Efex that gives an interesting result with the chosen set of images.

Infrared Shots in Cambridge

We walked into Cambridge from Lammers Land on a very windy morning today - even the poplars were bending in the gusts. After lunch, we spent some time photographing inside and outside the Fitzwilliam Museum

Queens House, Greenwich

It is great that the Queen's House is now free to enter and is a treasure trove of paintings and architecture. Designed by Inigo Jones in 1616 it is filled with works of art representing the 400 years by artists including Gainsborough, Canaletto, Reynolds, LS Lowry, Stubbs and Hogarth. I enjoyed the Tulip Staircase, the first centrally unsupported helical stairs constructed in England, and the Great Hall in particular.

Waddesdon Manor - An Enchanted Menagerie

 In the afternoon on Friday, we took a tour of the interior of the house, which has been decorated with an animal theme using some amazing constructions and coloured lighting. Barry is sporting a very trendy new fleece for the occasion and, as usual, I got captivated by the staircase which had very 'mixed' lighting sources no way of setting the white balance!
