Lilleshall Abbey

(CLICK ON A PIC AND IT WILL GO BIG)

I had the chance of another trip through Shropshire again. This time it was the turn of Lilleshall Abbey just north of Telford. I had packed pretty much all my various lenses but chose the old faithfulls again. Takumar 50mmf1.4, 17mm f4 Fisheye, 100mm f4 Macro and 58mm f2.4 Asahiflex. There was plenty of nice old grafitti in the stairwell.

I was intreaged by that triangular decoration in the first window

Three doors

Four windows

Nice light cast from the spiral stairs

That 58mm Asahiflex

It was fun trying to do this leaving the camera on the floor with a 2 second timer and running like hell!

The quick impromptu shots often work. This was a twister on the way back down the stairs

This is my favourite

Up St Johns

Had a chance to go up St Johns CHurch tower at the weekend as part of the May Day celebrations. I grabbed the camera bag and payed the £2. I was using the Takumar 50mm f1.4, 35mm f3.5 and 17mm f4 Fisheye.

Bit sparse on graffiti this is all I could find

The clock which governs the bells

What we could see of the bells

Didn't expect this!

Thats more like it

The names of many of the ringers and helpers over the years

Needed a Polariser on this. It's on order ;¬)
