Meanwhile, Back At the Abbey
Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 4 May 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
I have posted several shots of Buildwas Abbey, mainly dark, almost demonic images, i thought I would give you a little more insight into this wonderful old ruined building
Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .
Locally based near Lichfield

Great choice of framing for this powerful scene. For my taste, the HDR treatment is a bit too obvious (i like it subtle ;) ) to look realistic, but the resulting surreal effect has something about it as well :)

Excellent composition Pete, the light through the arches is beautiful as it casts a shadow across the grass.

You have processed this scene superbly. The mood created here is very intriquing. The symmetry and perspective match perfectly.

Great place. The hdr post treatment gives an almost unreal look and the dramatic sky add a lot. Good work.

This is the kind of thing that makes me green with envy that people get to live near such history. I love the way you set this up, so that if you can just mentally fill in the blanks, you have a good idea what it was like centuries ago, with a roof and flooring instead of sky and grass. Lovely.
