Last week I put a photo on of the inside of this hall. Yesterday I went specifically to photograph it externally for the hdr photo course I am on. This weeks topic is Architecture and cityscapes. This is a wonderful building and is free to go into. Some info below taken from Wikipedia:
The Guildhall in Leicester, England, is a Grade I listed timber framed building, with the earliest part dating from c. 1390. The Guildhall once acted as the town hall for the city until the current one was commissioned in 1876.
Although some parts are earlier, the majority of the building dates from the 15th century. It is located in the old walled city, on a street now known as Guildhall Lane. It was used first as the meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi and then later for the more formal Corporation of Leicester. The hall was used for many purposes, including council meetings, feasts, as a courtroom, and for theatrical performances; the ultimatum given to the city during English Civil War was discussed here.
Wonderful looking classic architecture and the clouds framing the roofline are perfect. I like the way you've used distortion to bring out the angles of the wood.
Your pov is wonderful, and this is such a beautiful building. I love that obviously genuine half timbering. Just gorgeous Chantal, fav for me of course. How is the HDR course going?
What lens did oyu use? I’ve got a 10-20mm that could have done this...
