| Kilchurn Castle Ruins |
Kilchurn Castle is an impressive ruin in the Highlands of Scotland. On the day of expeditions from Glencoe, I visited this Gothic site. The building is free and easy. A pleasant level pathway leads from the parking lot around a few trees, under a bridge and then across the field to the castle. The castle itself is located on a lake. Entry is not allowed and the castle was locked. Nevertheless each face of the castle gave a different look or view to photograph and experience. I was fortunate to visit on a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and gorgeous clouds.
Photographically speaking the most technical shot I attempted was the Windows shot with the shadow of the wall allowing only a few squares of light onto the grass. This was shot almost directly into the sunlight. I made sure the lens of the camera was not being hit by the sunlight directly but this is clearly a high contrast feature. I used Lightroom HDR software and try to make this as realistic as it was to my natural eye.
