    Eilean Donan Castle...........again

    Hi all

    Without doubt, the most photographed Castle in Scotland, but you just cannot go past without taking a shot or 2. This one was taken from the Carr Brae Viewpoint.

    A great composition and a viewpoint I hadn't seen before
    Being a direct upload I can't click through to enjoy it on Flickr at a decent size and learn what body/lens combo was used and at what settings which is always a shame

    Cheers,
    John

      Thanks for the comment John, appreciated.

      I don't normally put full size images on Flickr, but just for you..........

      Exif was - 5Ds // 24-70 f 2.8L @ 70mm // f16 @ 1/6s // iso 100 // Hand Held resting on the fence.

      Shame I didn't nail it better, (too lazy to get the tripod out of the car)

          Thanks Lez that is lovely and so, so nice at the full size on Flickr. The only way to improve it is to go back with the tide in

          Cheers,

                Another stunner

                I almost wish people would stop posting images of this castle as everytime someone does I go back to look at my own feeble efforts and feel depressed

                  You're not alone there, John.
                  Please don't ask about my kit, it's embarrassing!

                        Great composition with the foreground flowers adding to the scene. Well done Lez

                            Excellent comp, Lez. I’ve been up to that viewpoint several times and been frustrated by the trees partially obscuring the castle but you’ve done a great job .

                              Yes, it's impossible to get a shot without the trees obscuring part of the castle, a shame really.
