    Many thanks: yes.

    It's the latter, I believe. Looks from the little sign outside that it's owned/used by a firm of undertakers.

    Re: Photographs of Historic Buildings

    And another image from this fabulous medieval English barn.



    Great Coxwell Barn, Oxfordshire
    29th July 2019
    6:00pm

    Chamonix 810V
    Nikkor-SW 150 f/8
    Ilford FP4+ 8x10
    35mm front rise
    about 10 minutes f/32
    N-1 dev, Pyrocat HD 2:2:100
    Epson scan, bit of work in photoshop to bring down the bottom half of the image (should have used a grad). Focused by having my young son hold my iphone/torch to the no smoking sign!

    very impressing picture.
    In a comparable barn with sheep and dogs I gave up and used pinhole camera for the building and for the animals digital at 25.600 ASA

    This is a really neat image.

    Had I been presented with this scene, I might have determined that it had too much contrast, or was too dark and moved on. But by controlling the highlights, and in the meantime, making sure that there was sufficient detail in the shadows, this image works really well.

    Thanks for posting this image.

    Many thanks for the kind comments! This location repays frequent visits and is a place I've been back to now for over four years. I started off with digital but it really benefits from large movements and really works great with 8x10. With any luck I'll be able to alt-pro contact print some images soon (one of the enticements of moving up in film/camera size!).

    Re: Photographs of Historic Buildings

    So do I! My son sees the cemetery photo and shouts "Mini-chapel!". A Victorian version of Spinal Tap would be ... interesting.

    Collected my Lotus 12x14 contact printing frame today... yet another photographic adventure beckoning. Almost 2 years since my Epson 3880 died, and after deciding not to replace it straight away, I decided not to replace it at all (at least for the time being...)
    Fingers and toes crossed; cyanotypes and Argyrotypes to start off with hopefully.

    Re: Photographs of Historic Buildings

    Thanks, yes interesting. I metered the shadow cast by the pillar with the no smoking sign at -2, calculated reciprocity with the app, and then guessed! I've also shot here enough times before to know how images tend to turn out - just wish I'd used about a 1-stop hard grad on the bottom (for easier contact-printing purposes).
    The fact that there's any detail at all in the green bush just outside the back door (just visible here - you can see some tonal contrast on a larger version) astounds me.
