Description

Still a bit busy to be able to be spending time taking plenty of new shots, so have been giving the archive from last year a little comb-through... this shot of Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland was really just a snap, even worse shot in jpeg (before I came shortly afterwards to always shooting raw), so needed a good bit of playing to look something like how I wanted it to.. I've replaced the the sky with a sunset photo from my 'skies' folder and matched the colours up accordingly.. I also stretched the exposures of the original jpeg to give it a bit of hdr treatment, then god knows how many filters and tweaks in photoshop subsequently... Yes, sorry, the place has been shot to death.. maybe some of you are sick of seeing it crop up every now and then.. so I felt I had to try and do something a bit 'different' with this, hope you like it and enjoy the rest of your weekend!! Adam

Yes, it does seem almost to be a sketch, excellent treatment and results! I love castles, and this one in particular. I only wish I'd gotten some good shots when I was there!
