Kiplin Hall

Whilst on our little Richmond weekend away in April, we drove (!) out to Kiplin Hall... and what a lovely little hall it was - jam packed with fascinating history, lovely little details to photograph and nice walks around the grounds too!

I love visiting places like this - they're a feast for the eyes as well as the brain.

A gloomy afternoon

One of the fun things about scanning your own films is that - there are no rules anymore. In fact most of the self imposed 'rules' I had for film photography have vanished since I started scanning my own films... I didn't realise I had so many ha! These photos were actually taken with colour film - but it was so gloomy at this point of the day that the colours washed out and looked a bit - well - rubbish. I knew there were some good photos here though - and as scanning and editing is now all about finding those hidden gems in the results I get - I was determined to find the ones in these.

Drop the saturation - adjust the contrast a little - and boom. Here we are. One gloomy afternoon walking around the lake at Kiplin Hall in Richmond.

Easby Abbey

As I'm sure some of you know, I have a huge fondness of abbey ruins (Side note: in our new house I now get to walk past Kirkstall Abbey every day to and from work - I love it!) so I'm sure you're not surprised to see that whilst we were on a little weekend away near Richmond that we ended up at Easby Abbey and I took A LOT of photos haha.

Isn't it lovely and the walk to the abbey from Richmond was really enjoyable too! A great day out.
