Description

Well I arrived home earlier this evening after nearly 800 miles of driving around the highlands seeing the sights and to be honest am pretty exhausted! It was a great wee break, nice adventure and a chance to see some amazing sights. I've over 800 photos to sort through from the trip but this is the first outcome of a number of HDR shots I set up along the way and the subject is Eilean Donan Castle, strategically situated on the edge of three lochs this castle distinguishes itself from a number of other Scottish examples by the fact it was used as a home, and still is to some degree today. For more background (and it is a highly interesting location) have a peek at the official website if you're interested: www.eileandonancastle.com I took a number of shots of this stunning little castle however this is the first to get edited so the first to be posted =) Just thought I'd give a quick taster of what's to come as I'm sure this excursion will feature pretty highly in my posts for the coming week or two! HDR from 3 different RAW exposures, tonemapped with Photomatix. Enjoy ;)

Great shot of this place. Wouldnt want to be there at night. Looks a bit freaky. Like the HDR on it. Really nice shot.
