I Don't Do Enough Of This.

[Dale.]

It's funny, how sitting there makes you think of outings past. I was watching Thomas Heaton's latest video this morning about a tree and I remembered photographing a tree at Kilchurn Castle about 18 months or so ago. It was my first outing with my then b/new 5Div and since then I've only done 1 or 2 landscape outings, one to photograph Arran, the other was a grab shot really whilst out on a walk with my daughter but it's one that actually worked quite well. The day I took this, I was involved in a bit of an altercation with a motorbike which resulted in my car being written off and I've not been up that way since. Maybe in the next few weeks, I will but I almost refuse to travel if there's no chance of reflections but that's holding me back as there are other conditons for photography and I should embrace them.

Anyway, for now, a quick conversion of Kilchurn Castle to mono, I wanted to give it a bit of drama rather that being subtle. Comments welcome.

thanks.

That is an absolute cracker I wish I'd taken it. Beautifully balanced and well suited to the black and white conversion. The more I look at it the more I enjoy it.

Looks great; a mono conversion was a good choice.

Thanks, I'm happier with the mono than the colour, it wasn't a great day for light.

I like that. Although I wouldn't compose this way myself I really am impressed by this.
