Five Castles (Sepia)

A slightly surreal composition on the theme of `castles', taken on the shore of Loch Etive at Dunstaffnage. Compare the straight black and white version.

 

Taken on the Shen-Hao large-format camera using Ilford Delta-100 b&w film; gradient sky and sepia tint added afterwards. I had to dig the tripod into the beach to get it low enough; there was huge rear-tilt movement required for perspective and focus, grad-blue filter for the sky, ND filter to slow things down, red filter for contrast. See the whole crazy setup :)
