Kirkstall Abbey by blightygal

Kirkstall Abbey

Went back with my tripod and camera to nearby Kirkstall Abbey tonight. It was such a nice sunny crisp day, I hoped the evening be okay too.

They light the inside of the Abbey at nightfall, thought it was a shame they didnt light the outside instead. Nearly an 8 second exposure.. I hope Mr Night Guy Aaron approves!


As a side note, am enjoying the news again today on my old editor about the phone tapping scandal at News of the World.. I knew about this when it was going on, and I was just a lowly freelancer, he must've known.. I hope someone can prove that he might be fibbing as I thought he was a horrible horrible man.

@rich57 Ha ha, that would've been funny! It was very cold, not many people there after nightfall - would prob have bumped into you, lol.

@blightygal Probs would have been there before dark if I'd made it. It wouldve been funny to bump into each other though! Guessing not many people around with cameras!

What a fantastic shot. I like it that it is only the inside lit up. Nice silhouette of the building. This is a fav Freida. Really nice capture.

@rich57 @blightygal err...meeting up at random places with cameras? Oh yea...I know your game you two.

I so need to get back out doing nights....this is what I miss. The fact it looks like day light but clearly not with the lights in the abbey! Sweet

I like this very much - was outside beautiful cathedral this evening in twillight - door ajar, golden magical light within - beautiful pillars. No camera!!! so this particularly caught my eye. Great shot. Intriguing about the news story - sounds like you could do an insider piece!!

I love these kinds of shots - lit from within at twilight. Mysterious and romantic. Re: your former boss, I read that story a while back. Outrageous.

Love the purple tones here...and how it is silhouetted against that beautiful sky.

Beautiful! It would be more logical to light the outside, but now you have a really special effect
