Eilean Donan Castle, Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland

Gary Moncur

The iconic "Eilean Donan" Castle in the Kyle of Lochalsh.
I had shot a wedding in the Castle on the Saturday and because of its remoteness had stayed overnight in a local hotel.
The day of the wedding was lovely and sunny but after the ceremony the weather took a turn for the worse and outdoor shots of the Bride and Groom were impossible, a real shame.
However when I set off for home on the Sunday morning I had to drive past the castle again and the poor weather had produced that fantastic light we can get over here which makes bad weather a viable subject.
I pulled over at "Aird Point" North of the castle and got down low(Wedding gear was all stowed away in the Boot/trunk but the 400D and 18-55 kit lens at that time was always in the car with me).
I loved the resulting shot and that light ? Magical.

St Johns-in-the-Vale, United Kingdom viewed from Castlerigg

StirlingR (moderator)

The Lake District in the UK is a photographer's playground. This view falls into a landscape type that I love, broad valleys. There's another much nearer to me that I'm going to explore, it being one of my favorite long-view valleys.

Boat by the Castle

Peter Morley (moderator)

The lake was so clear here that you can't see the water-line, so the boat appears to be tipped upwards. Sirmione Castle Lake Garda (Italy)
