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).
Chatsworth House
Chatsworth is home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family.

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.

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.

twisting dolphins. Moulded cornice with a curved projection
over the keystone. To either side are blind round-arched
recesses with rounded corbelled projections. Banded end piers
with scallop shells in the entablature. Parapet surmounted by
statutory. Stepped lead dome, over which water flows,
surmounted by a tall circular domed lantern. The side
elevations have semi-circular flights of steps up to flat arched
doorways with moulded architraves. Circular domed interior has
moulded cornice and round-arched niches, alternately flat backed
and half-domed with shell hoods. Moulded brackets on the piers

Sculpture for Beyond Limits.
Exhibition runs from 8th September to 26th October 2014.
La Riviere by Aristide Maillol 1938 - 40
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.

Video clip
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.
