One of the waterfalls at Hanging Rock State Park, NC.
My widest lens in my kit is the 14-42 kit zoom, unfortunately I do not own an ND filter in that size. So I did my best to get the longest exposure I could which was only 0.6 seconds long.
I found a folder today of a lot of photos from 2-3 years ago which said, 'To Post.' I still like a lot of them and I'm just going to upload a bunch of them in the next few days
Chastleton House is an early 17th century manor house open to the public (National Trust). Like Stanway House, the owners were not been able to afford to keep it up and the NT has not invested in restoring the furnishings or interior decor. Nevertheless, there are a lot of interesting wood carved wall panels, elaborate fire places (the original owner had one such fireplace installed in a bedroom to impress his wealthy neighbor), a multi-floor free-flying staircase, 17th century tapestry, medieval bible boxes, etc.
I recently went on a photo "tour" of the former Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (also know as the Weston State Hospital) in Weston, West Virginia. It includes a pretty amazing old Kirkbride building and a number of outbuildings in various stages of decay. The "tour" really was just an opportunity to photograph the buildings, many of which are otherwise inaccessible, with a pretty small group of photographers. It was a great opportunity because you are pretty much on your own to photograph what you want. I think they do the tours two or three times a year, so if you like photographing old mental hospitals (and be honest, who doesn't!) then I highly recommend a visit. If anyone is interested, I posted a bunch of images from the day on my Smugmug site (which frankly displays them better than Flickr, especially if your just run through them in "slideshow" mode). They can be viewed here: milsteen.smugmug.com/Other/Trans-Allegheny-Lunatic-Asylum....
Hard to believe its been almost two months since I posted anything on Flickr. I've been very busy with other things and just haven't had the time. I appreciate the notes from folks asking if I'd fallen off the face of the earth. I hope to check in this weekend and see what everyone has been posting in my absence.
FR Mulhouse 2006 - Trompe l'oeil windows. What fun. Notice that the artist even rendered the ripples in the glass in the right window.

A window and stairway at Hughes Hall, one of the colleges of Cambridge University. This rather modern building has pleasin gviews across the University cricket ground on one side, and unrivalled views of the Queen Anne's car park on the other (from where this was taken).
