What the symbols mean about the photograph:
Spherical Photograph - allows viewing in all directions, even behind the camera.
Wide Angle Photograph - presents the image normally with a view straight ahead.
Photography Equipment:
Guy used a Phase One XF IQ4 Camera System for all of the photography. All of the shots were done manually; nothing was automated. This camera produces beautiful, very high resolution images. All of the spherical images were shot using a 28mm Schneider - KREUZNACH lens (17mm DSLR equiv.). These images were captured from Aug 17 through Aug 22, 2019. Processing the images into spherical images took an additional week.
Most of the rooms and outside areas have been photographed as a full sphere. Each spherical image requires 40 images to create the sphere. A few locations were photographed as wide angle shots. This camera uses a very large 150 megapixel sensor. You will find immense detail in these images.
With these photographs we have frozen the Chateau in time.
Dining Room
This is a spherical image of the Dining Room.
But this room also contains a traditional game that has spanned across every generation in the family. The game is about finding the differences between the peacocks that are painted around the room. I've done this game a few times. There are many subtle differences… like how many feathers… was the feather painted differently… is something missing. The differences are there and they can be found.
Good luck. How many differences can you find?
Nursery
This is a a really special room. There are four beds in this room. Each bed gets larger… so the youngest child is always in the smallest bed. Each child also has their own dresser based on their size. When a child could no longer see their face in the mirror that child moved up to the second floor. All the remaining kids also graduated to the next larger bed and dresser.
All of the dresser drawers are still filled with the children's clothing from the early 1900's.
The toys in these rooms also have a history to every child that has been in the Chateau.
