Originally posted by Grippy Mate, that is a brilliant shot, such a great location. What's the deal with the light inside the place on the foggy shots? It seems to be in different spots in different pics
Originally posted by Jonathan Mac I like that first one, it's really superb. The slightly off-blue colour around the castle adds a lot to the atmosphere.
Back to Austrialia again? That didn't last long. What's in the air and obscuring vision over there isn't anything as harmless as fog.
Thanks so much, everyone. Very glad that you like the shots :-)
Grippy, I moved around the castle between the three shots. The first two are taken from similar, but different angles; the third from right around the other side. In the first two shots, you are seeing light from the same window (but viewed from a somewhat different angle); in the third shot, the light you see is emerging from a different window that was 'around the back' in the first two shots. Hope that makes sense...
Jonathan Mac, Yes, the return to the UK ended up lasting only about 18 months. Shorter than envisaged, but work tends to dictate where I'm based. Thankfully, the UK and Oz are both magnificent places and I am a citizen of both, so the move is relatively easy (fires aside)... I love both places and the change has been good for the variety of shots I've been able to take. But having a bit longer before relocating would have been ideal. Oh well! First World problem, for sure. Very lucky to be able to call both places home. :-)
Thanks again everyone for the very encouraging feedback - it means a lot to get positive comments from people like you, whose views and work I admire so much.
