My Chatsworth album.
A composite image made up from two photos taken from the same spot, each using a different film camera. The individual photos have been collaged in photoshop.
In this case the cameras were: Kodak Brownie No.2, Lomography LC-W (with redscale film) and Pentax Espio 160 (cross-processed).

Taken with a Kodak No.2 Brownie camera in week 250 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

The No.2 Brownie was introduced in 1903, and continued in production until 1931, the design evolved over the years, though it remained recognisably the same camera. This particular iteration was made between 1920 and 1924, making this camera at least 90 years old.

My favourite piece of the exhibition. The Lion is constructed from rubber car tyres. The way it has been put together gives it real movement. I really would have preferred a better sky to shot this one against.

From 9 April 2011, Yorkshire Sculpture Park will house the first major UK exhibition of sculpture and drawings by one of my favourite artists, Jaume Plensa. May not float everyone's boat but I can't wait!
Finding this out today not only made my day but also made me want to revisit some older photo's I've taken of his work. Unfortunately, I haven't got that many to go at, (I've done Dream to death, I think), so this will have to do.

My Chatsworth set.
The Cascade close up at the gardens at Chatsworth.
Kids were playing all over it, although it was never designed for that! Hope they didn't slip!
The Cascade and its Temple were the crowning point of the 1st Duke of Devonshire's garden. Took two attempts, and 17 years to complete, four years after his death. May have been inspired by Louis XIV's French palace at Marly. Thomas Archer one of the Duke's architects designed the temple.

I'm taking time out of the Norfolk set to show the photos I took during a visit to Chatsworth House Gardens to see this year's "Beyond Limits" set of sculptures. It is well worth a visit and if you're rich and fancy one then contact Sotheby's.
All the glorious art made me look for some photos other than the sculptures that said something about Chatsworth.
