The castle on the cliff by vikdaddy

The castle on the cliff

I did a quick shoot tonight behind Nottingham Castle. The castle is situated above a maze of caves, which looks unique as it's significant rock exposure in the middle of an urban setting.

The original shot encompassed more of the scenery, but in post-processing I begrudgingly cropped some of the detail to the left because it wasn't quite in focus. I should have used a smaller aperture, because cropping is something I loath doing.

The fog outside has become even denser. It makes for an interesting environment, so I might pop out again for another shoot after midnight and get tomorrow's photo done and dusted too!

Canon 7D, f/8, 71/1, ISO-100
It looks like it's glowing - and a litlte reminiscent of Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto ... I like the crop :)
