Good day ,
Today i will be posting the final part of my visit to Kasteel Groeneveld.
I already posted a black and white impression , and today i will post a coloured version of the castle , these are differend photographs then i used in the black and white version !!
3 weeks ago we went to this lovely castle here in Holland called "Kasteel Groeneveld " if you want to visit the place this is their websit it's in Dutch so you might need google translate :) https://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/kasteel-groeneveld
I will be showing you photographs from both inside the castle and outside .
Before i start a quick question ...
When was the last time you checked your witness votes on Hive ?
So many people vote once and forget all about it , but witnesses come and witnesses go , make sure your votes aren't waisted by voting for inactive witnesses , and with inactive i mean witnesses that haven't signed a block for at least more then 30 days .
Right back to the photos ...
i used two cameras with 2 differend lenses Sony A7II + Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro for wide angle and close up macro and the Sony A7IV + Sony 24-105mm F4 G OSS with polarisation filter still testing that filter need to get used to it , it does cost light to use it +/- 1-2 stops . i will post underneath each photo what combi has been used.
1 ) The tour starts in the basement of the building where the staff would be in the old days. There was this library of old wild life and fauna from the castle .
