The year started with a trip down to Hampton Court Palace to photograph an unusual find in one of the turrets. A chimney flue that seemed to wrap itself around a spiral staircase, apparently a very unusual, and possibly unique, architectural find. I was told it'd be a tight squeeze and it certainly was so all plans of lights and tripods were quickly abandoned. Luckily there was a small window so I spent an hour or so in a variety of yoga-like positions on a dusty floor, with a very high ISO, trying to brace myself against camera shake!
