National Trust Properties

I see the National Trust have reviewed their position on taking photos inside their properties and now say that non-flash photography will be allowed in interiors------they now state thus :

Amateur photography ( including filming) without flash is now permitted in historic building interiors at the property manager's discretion. 

Its about time, too.  

I flash as I use my camera everytime Peter, can't really see how that might affect the picture Lol

Sorry, I mean use my flash...

Thanks for that Peter.

To be more exact----Flash is banned as it it known to have an effect on the retina of the eye that could be irritating to other visitors, according to NT. 

I would also add that it ruins the atmosphere of some of these old places and using available light I find preferable anyway to help keep the character of these places.

Here's a typical example of what you might find in stately homes and I think the natural light of a room would look better than if flash had been used.
