Quietude

_DSC0017

Bodiam Castle moments before sunrise.

 I like the light and the peaceful nature of this shot but the sky was somewhat bland. To eliminate some of the dead space I ended up choosing a 16:9 crop, which I feel helps to balance the shot.

Processed in Lightroom 5.

Oh, here’s proof that I did indeed shave off my beard for this months Movember charity fundraiser.

The ghost of Cowdray

The ghost of Cowdray

This is the spectacular Cowdray ruins in West Sussex, England.

My friend and I stopped here briefly whilst en route to the location of the truck featured a couple of posts back. The ruin is sadly now closed until some time next year and so we had to settle for exterior shots only.

Continuing with my muted colour trend, I chose to process this using Topaz B&W Effects and Lightroom 5.
