Here's my take on Kirkstall Abbey, which you've already seen lots of views of from the UK weekend. I seem to be on a black and white thing right now - this is another experiment with fake infrared, inspiration by Jan Q.

This technique certainly gives atmosphere to this picture Nigel. A subject like this can happily take this sort of treatment. An excellent shot.

I guess I'll have to start an Abbey Folder.
So many different views of this Wonderful Old Site.
Thanks for sharing.

I guess all the parishioners carry umbrellas to church there, huh? LOL. I detected a slight color tone to this. Must be the fake infrared thing you mentioned. Excellent image Mr. Moore.

The effect enhances the ancient feel. Wish we had old building like this! Love it.

Dear Abbey:

I know a photographer that has become enthralled with you. He hides and takes pictures and even changes what you are wearing. He does a great job and you would probably like it, but I feel paranoia is setting in. Is this type of infatuation normal? I just thought you should be aware that he is lurking.

Nigel I love your take on this! So well composed with the placement of the rock etc. The IR effect truly did it justice as well :)

Good composition and a lovely effect using sepia. Was in London in March but the photos I took don't match yours. The weather was horrible.

This is a great picture. It is so spooky looking, I am expecting evil spirits to crawl through my monitor at any moment.

Has a Ghost Town appeal to it!

Good one, my friend. Every time I see an upload from the UK gathering, I have to view it and at least make my presence known.

Every one is different and every one has a different perspective on every event that happened that week end.

I think there should be a new Gallery available to Caedes members only = The Caedes' Gatherings.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Nice angled shot Nigel ;) I like the b&w effect - it is quite dramatic!
