Rathcoffey Castle (HDR)

A spectacular summer afternoon near Rathcoffey Castle in Co. Kildare. In the foreground you can see a field of Rape Seed flowers in full bloom, and in the left mid-ground, a ring fort. The castle itself is silhouetted against the hill.

 

This shot was generated by first tonemapping a single RAW image with Photomatix Pro, then running the output through Topaz Adjust 4 to give it a little more 'pop', and finally importing the image into Aperture to give a few final tweaks.

 

I also generated a monochrome version of this image.

 

This shot featured on my blog as Photo of the Week 122 & 123 - Summer in Rathcoffey.
