Over the Christmas holidays I went to the National Trust property of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, near the town of Ripon.
I took my camera just in case there was an image or two i could make out of the ruins and the garden. I’d never been there before, so didn’t really know what to expect. Really glad that I took my camera, as it is a beautiful place, even in the winter time where there were barely any leaves on the trees and no flowers in bloom.
These are a few of the images I took while we were walking around the park. The Abbey is so big it really lends itself for photography - there are so many different angles to find, with beautiful light coming through the many windows, doors and archways.
I only took my 20mm and 50mm prime lens with me, as I didn’t want to carry round my full kit bag all day and these lenses are relatively small so I can fit them in my jacket pocket.
I would highly recommend visiting as it’s a stunning location with plenty to see and to photograph. Also, if you’re a National Trust member you get in for free.
