Description

Taken the same day as my previous Eilean Donan upload, this shot is a panoramic stitch of maybe 5-6 shots. I did try for a wider view to the left of the loch but the images didn't stitch together well enough for my liking, meaning I had to shorten the pano to the left slightly. Either way, this still offers a decent view of the castle and bridge, and I'd be interested to know whether people prefer this or the HDR shot (Eilean Donan Castle I... I think I slightly prefer this one myself but am not trying to sway your opinion =). Looks like there's quite a few to come from this wee road trip as I get deeper into sifting through them, with at least another view of this beautiful castle from a different vantage point. Enjoy - Adam ;)

Looks wonderful and one of the icons of Scotland.. An unusual POV most of the shots I have seen have been from the opposite side of the Kyle of Lochalsh

danob - I agree, the view from the other side is arguably the quintessential one, however we approached from this side and I only really had time to set my tripod up in one spot so this is the one with the panoramas and HDRs.... I do have another nice shot (which will probably become number III in this series) from the other side, though it's handheld and the light had started to fade..

I really like this and the stitch is wonderful. A fabulous look at this castle and bridge. You got the light on the hills inspite of the low clouds.

I like the composition and the sky is fine but I think the castle looked a little better in the other image. A brighter castle would make it a little better in my opinion but it is also wonderful just the way it is. Well done!

nope, what I've posted you'll see in my small gallery - haven't been a member very long... this series of shots marks the furthest west in Scotland I have been (I live on the east coast), and was about getting out and discovering a few select spots on our dash around the highlands and a couple of islands..
