Here’s a close-up of the awesome old skool craftsmanship in the manor house library. This shot was enhanced by the lovely morning light coming in through the windows. I was really taken with the contrast between the light outside and the way it was falling on the pretty metal work. Goes to show that in the old days it was all about craftsmanship.
This was taken with the 65mm macro from quite a distance away, the 1.6 crop makes the lens a lot longer, more like a 90mm. It goes to show the quality of a prime and the way in which HDR can enhance a shot.

The detail in that metal along with the webs is just gorgeous! Nice detailed capture and great PP.
Great detail and comp. My eye moves smoothly out the window.
How wonderful Mark, I love the details in both the wood and metal here, how lovely! The cobwebs really add an interesting element as well, adding to the overall feel of the scene. Great capture my friend, I LOVE it!
Great details!
Excellent…low the cobwebs!
Excellent shot, Mark! Def. love the close perspective. I need to start doing this a little more and not being lazy. I tend to leave the wide angle on most of the time.
Superb detail shot Mark, lovin’ all the antique tones going on too. 🙂
