Caerphilly Castle

|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
13th century Caerphilly Castle - the largest castle in Wales.
Taken soon after sunset at 20:11
Camera settings - 33 mm zoom, ISO-200, AV mode, exposure bracketing, mirror lockup, remote release.
To increase dynamic range I combined 3 separate exposures of 4 seconds, 1.3 seconds (to have brightly lit towers properly exposed) and 8 seconds (to have some visible details in the dark walls) into one image.
Raw conversion for done with color temperature set to 5150K.
Check out my other photos taken from the same spot in afternoon sunlight and at night without artificial lights.
High quality print of this photo is available for purchase here |

Great blue hour shot of this amazing castle, Linas. Great POV showing many parts of the ruins. The lighting (both natural and artificial) is well-captured. Nice work.
Hello Linas,
beautiful shot enhanced by the beauty of the blue hour. The view of the castle and its majesty makes the shot appealing thanks to the silky effect on the water. Quality is good throughout with good sharpness and balanced tones.
Thanks for sharing it.
Regards,
Igor
