Racton Ruins – monument – folly light painting

After many trips and nearly 2 years of trying I have finally ticked of another one of my sites, on a long list.
Below is a shot I took while messing around (in -6 temperatures), just for fun, the folly is lit by the full moon coming through the tree which was casting shadows onto the walls, giving that extra spooky feel.

Racton Folly:The tower was built around 1772 for the nearby 1,750 acre Stansted Estate, probably as a summer house although it is shown on maps as a monument. It consists of a two storey triangular structure with three corner towers attached, from this rises a large tapering central tower which has three floors to it, this originally had a conical roof. The central tower, as well as the three corner structures, were also castellated at one time, although this feature like all the interior floors, has now disappeared. Some say that its original purpose was as summer house however, an alternative possibility is that it was built by the then owner so that he could see his trading ships berth at Emsworth, then a major port. Either way, it perhaps qualifies today more as a curiosity than a folly.

    Halnaker Windmill Moon Lit

    I am So Excited about this post as I have been working towards this photograph for over a year now   Some of you may have seen the images I have taken during the last year while trying to achieve this photograph though none came close to this. I’m happy with my image and think we may finally be able to say we are finished at this location. As mentioned on my last post the weather changed for the better and im very glad we decided to go back up.

    Feel free to leave comments below.

    the last of a full moon

    Full moon rising over Bognor pier, not as great as I hoped but I was short on time and have never tried this type of shot before.
