Denmark - Zealand - Frederiksborg Castle - Great Hall 02_DSC7179
One last shot of Fredriksborg Castle, uploaded mostly because I think this panoramic image captures the epic proportions of the Great Hall better than the portrait format shot I uploaded a few days ago.
On a technical note, a lot of these shots were taken at 1600 ISO due to the low light levels. Whilst not terrible quality I think it's fair to say my Nikon D300s is starting to show it's age particularly in relation to it's low light capability. Starting to think it's time to consider an upgrade, either that or buy a faster lens so that I can get a bigger aperture than f4.8 at these super-wide angle focal lengths.

From Wikipedia : "Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style.
After a serious fire in 1859, the castle was rebuilt on the basis of old plans and paintings. Thanks to public support and the brewer J. C. Jacobsen, the building and its apartments were fully restored by 1882 when it was reopened to the public as the Danish Museum of National History. Open throughout the year, the museum contains the largest collection of portrait paintings in Denmark. It also provides visitors with an opportunity to visit several of the castle's state rooms including the restored Valdemar Room and Great Hall as well as the Chapel and the Audience Chamber which were both largely spared by the fire and contain sumptuous decorations."
