Names?Having just finished the edits from the first venue of our most recent Frank-Fest, a few compilations from the associated gardens.
(Shot raw and processed with: DxO PL E/ Nik, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Studio. These shots are all by Phil as Karen eschewed taking a camera along on this trip...Plus, we were getting to grips with Arfur - our new DJI Neo 2 Drone).
Phil and Karen
And now in Colour...
Working from top. And left-to-right.
Selection 1. Lavatera (x2). Centaurea dealbata (I think)
Selection 2. Alstromeria (x2). Echinops.
Selection 3. Teasel. ? (stumped me there). One of the many types of (bulbous) lilly.
Selection 4. Salvia (type/species not identified). Allium (seed head). Another of the many types of (bulbous) lilly.
Selection 5. Delphinium. Another of the many types of (bulbous) lilly. Phlox (I think).
Selection . Acanthus mollis. Geranium (possibly type Ann Folkard). Some sort of fencing. Centaurea cyanus. Veronica (possibly type of longifolia).
(I saw a close relative of Neo in a local Currys)
(Last edit - veronica - brought on after scanning a list of names of species, which jogged the grey matter. That still leaves one "stumped")

Images from Temple Newsam, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL E/ ViewPoint, Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels and Topaz Labs Studio. These images are all by Phil as Karen was working in nearby-ish Wakefield).
Resembling a block of flats, this property holds a rich history - and many wonders. You can learn more about Temple Newsam by clicking Here.
Phil (missing Karen)
1. The manor of Newsam (‘new houses’) was first recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. In 1155 it became a property of the Knights Templar, the military-religious order who guarded the pilgrim routes to Jerusalem.
2. After the Knights Templar order was dissolved by Pope Clement V in 1312, the estate moved ownership several times before passing to the Darcy family. Thomas Lord Darcy built a new house on the estate in the early 1500s.
3. Darcy was executed in 1537 for his part in the Catholic revolt known as the Pilgrimage of Grace. King Henry VIII claimed the estate and gifted it to his favourite niece, the Countess of Lennox, and her sons Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, and Lord Charles Stuart were all born and raised here.
4. Now effectively a minor royal palace, in the mid-1500’s Temple Newsam was a site of political intrigue, with Darnley’s marriage to Mary Queen of Scots and his subsequent murder. After Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned, Queen Elizabeth I seized the estate and it became Crown property.
5. Darnley’s marriage to Mary was highly consequential, resulting in the birth of her only son and heir, James. James became King James VI of Scotland, then later King James I of England, the first time the two crowns were united - ushering in the Stuart dynasty.
6. Temple Newsam became neglected for nearly 80 years before being bought by the Yorkshire-born entrepreneur Sir Arthur Ingram who remodelled the house, into the basic form seen today. (Of note, this was the first room in which I encountered another visitor... ).
7. In 1642, ‘china drinke’, or tea, as we know it, was supplied to the house - the earliest mention of tea in Britain...

Hi Dale,
Cheers - much appreciated!
This property was fascinating and I enjoyed having a crack at its many photographic challenges (with a range of outcomes!).
(The surrounding parkland was also a joy to wander around).
Talking of colours, the files I'm currently working on have us wearing searingly bright orange cycling shirts in a building with many reflective surfaces - leading to some interesting colours. I'm starting to think B&W may feature heavily...

I like that you preserve the mood at the location rather than attempting to show more detail. I subscribe to the same, even wrote about it some years ago.Images from Temple Newsam, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Hi Cemal,
Cheers - appreciated!
I'm always juggling the desire to show people the gist of the places we visit, while preserving the ambience - many of the properties are kept relatively dark to reduce the potential for degradation due to exposure to harsh sunlight and the lighting whether through open/ screened windows, or artificial sources can be a complete nightmare (for photography, not conservation). None of the properties we visit allow the use of tripods or flashes, which is totally understandable.
(I've never asked, but I suspect a portable smoke machine - for some tasteful angel beams - would be right out...
).
Sometimes I'm tempted to adopt a 'chiaroscuro' approach to photography, the only things lacking being the necessary skills (and talent) plus, as mentioned, control of the lighting in these places is not in my hands and the space is shared with other visitors/ room guides - I don't have free run to do my own thing, even if I knew what I was doing. Combine this with having to regularly fit in with limited time scales during our 'run and gun' visits - and we're back to juggling...
When I do get the opportunity for some creative editing, I'll often lean towards 'less is more' (particularly so with B&W).
All good fun...
Phil
