Camcorder: JVC GR-D270EK,
Edited in Ulead VideoStudio 10.
Uploaded as 640x480 wmv best quality.

This camcorder gives reasonably good colour results in strong sunlight. Anything less than this, the colour tends to be washed-out. Moving or out-of-focus objects show definite blueing around edges. A good-buy 'snapshot' camcorder in it's range, but not one to buy if you want quality results.
Video editing suites can increase saturation, but will drastically reduce quality and increase pixelation with JVC GR-D270EK movies.

Too beautiful,is it private?

[VideoPostcards]

Thanks for your comment.

Harlaxton Manor is basically private, but people do walk around the grounds (outside the house). There are occasional open days and events when the house itself could be open, usually between semesters when students will be on holiday.

amazing !!

I was there in the Fall of 1998. It's a magical place. Supposedly there are 5 ghosts haunting it. I did have a poltergeist find something in my room for me while I was gone to lunch one day. The manor was filmed in a Hugh Grant film called The Lady and the Highwayman and several other films, most recently The Haunting with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones. I met some great people there and dream of going back some day.

Brings back great memories from Fall 1996. I'd like you to turn the other way and get me a pint of John Smith's Bitter at the Gregory Arms. Ah, Harlaxton...
