Ancient Rathcoffey (Monochrome 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', imported to Aperture where the monochrome mixer was used to convert it to a monochrome image, and then finally tweaked just a little using Aperture's Dodge & Burn plugin.
I also uploaded a colour version of this image.
This shot featured on my blog as Photo of the Week 122 & 123 - Summer in Rathcoffey.
