Chatsworth House - Cor, It's a Bit Swanky...

[Timmy2TARs]

Visited Chatsworth for the TVR gathering on Sunday - also had a look round his Lordship's gaff. Most impressive! Here are some pics, all ISO 400:





















If you haven't been inside, I recommend it - it's a real eye opener!

Very nice!

Great colours

Very nice pics - were you bracing yourself against doorways etc? If they were handheld then you have a very decent camera and a steady hand!

Thanks chaps - shutter speeds ranged from 1/6s to 1/80s and it was all hand held (breath held too - no bracing), and I was very pleasantly surprised with their sharpness considering.

I was using a 5D with a 17-40mm at f4 - I love that camera!

[Andy M]

I could have guessed it'd be the mighty 5D

Steve - when are you going to jump ship, and join the sophisticates?

[GetCarter]

Not until I've tried the D3X. Hold on to your hats boys, it's gunna be a bumpy ride.

Every time I see a pic from a 5D it makes me want one.

For sale, loads of Nikon gear. Never raced or rallied.

Lovely pictures. We're planning to go to Chatsworth this week sometime. I'll have to see if I can match your standard!

Lovely pics Timmy... but you forgot the other library



and the lovely grounds



Damnit, I wish I had my SLR back then!!

Top place to visit, and I normally don't like stately homes and the like. Good food in the orangery and nice beer that I believe they brew themselves...

Well I actually did get the library - my favourite room in the house as it happens but it wasn't as good as the others - 1/5s handheld whilst jostling for space - pesky tourists!



The other room that was a challenge was the bedroom - very dark:



We didn't do the gardens though which was a shame - I love your panoramic.

For those who have yet to go - none of the wardens objected to those people using flash, so don't do what I did and assume it would not be allowed! I'm not sure tripods would be welcome though!!

Wow, very nice!

Will put it on the list to see

Very nice pics... you should visit at Christmas, especially if you have kids, its magical...
