Vistied Petworth in Sussex today to view the daffs (but we were 2 weeks early!). Took loads of pictures of logs and deer, we saw a hobby, had lunch and ambled into the house where Turner painted in his spacious, well lit studio and viewed the statuary in the gallery.
As we left I asked the cost of the tickets to view the paintings and was challenged on how come we were where we were, as we had no right to have been up to the studio- it's part of the £12 per person tour!
Ooops!!
@olivetreeann This the first photo taken all month that I visualised in B&W before I clicked AND turned out as I hoped!! Haven't followed all the thread ideas to the letter but enjoyed the results and have learned a few processing skills along the way. Thank you for taking on the task of the flashofred thread. J
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Good job Jackie! Turner was an amazing artist so I'm sure it was an inspiring place to be. You took advantage of some great light too. Isn't that a cool feeling when you think about the shot, take it and it comes out as you expected? I just love it when that happens. Good shot!
Great capture-love the light shaft & free to boot by perchance.
Have been through Petworth a number of times on my way somewhere else but never stopped. Will have to make sure I do sometime.
I was at Petworth two weeks ago. Went on the tour which was free to members. The studio was not, but people were going there anyway and no one was challenging them! NT hadn't made it very clear so their fault, not yours!
Am envious of your Turner outing. The nearest I've been is seeing the film. I was blown away!
Meanwhile I'm your Get Pushed partner for this week. I've browsed your photos and by your own admission, taking shot of people isn't (yet) a comfort zone. Your recent shot of oriental visitors is a great candid. I'd like you to build on what you learned from this shot and take another. If this gives you the heebie geebies, do say...and I'll suggest something else.
Looking forward to your challenge for me. Revenge is sweet ;-) ??

The daffodils will be wonderful in a couple of weeks too @megpicatilly next time you are over West this way let us know?! Could take cameras for an NT walk? @s4sayer Hello, we are very lucky to be able to view Turner's art at Petworth whenever we want and I just love his work.
Thank you for the challenge, I'll certainly give it a go with my little point and click n my lunch breaks during the week. Will get back tto yu with yours shortly :)
