Roche Abbey, South Yorkshire

Headed out into South Yorkshire today with Mart L.

I wanted to give the new IR filter a trial run, so we went to Roche Abbey just outside Maltby. Never been before, but I'm trying to make more use of my English Heritage membership, and it looked like a good IR subject.

Took plenty of pictures as I wasn't really sure of exposure times, but it looks like the camera can produce good results at about 30 to 60 seconds if there is good sunlight.

Once done there, we went to Consibrough Castle as it was only 15 mins up the road, and was another place I never visited.

I wasn't happy with any of the photographic results from Conisbrough. The castle is nice enough, but not very photogenic. It may be better to photograph from outside the town as it surrounded by hills. Something to try one day.
