Decided to take some pictures of the old airship hangars at Shortstown / Cardington and then HDR process them. For those of you who don't know these are 812-foot long monsters used to build the R100 and R101 airships back in the late 1920's.
Hangar-1, were R100 was built, is in pretty bad repair these days. Hangar-2 is much better and used as a movie set.
Still haven't got a clue what I'm doing with HDR / Photomatrix!

Nice, the RAF Museum reserve collection was housed here for a while I believe.

I would have thought these hangars are a listed building.

Listing is of little use unless there is active maintenance though.
