we're here - multiple exposures.
from a hill overlooking the lake this afternoon, I made one shot facing east and one facing west and put 'em together.
Focus-Stacked image of Duffus Castle, comprising of 35 captures to enhance F/B focus.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.
I wasn't sure if this would be possible to capture the way I envisioned initially. I knew Moonbows are a common occurrence at Cumberland Falls National Park and wanted to capture the moonbow in the foreground while also capturing the lunar eclipse. The challenge was it would require shooting at least 180° to capture both, but I've not seen or heard of anyone else trying to capture an eclipse with panoramic techniques. I decided to go for it regardless and was definitely satisfied with the results.

We agree
The flowers are yours
The fruit are yours
The blades of lush grass are yours
The sentries are yours too.
We agree
That sky captured
within the four-sided courtyard is yours.
The wind that comes and knocks against its boundary walls
that’s yours too.
But you need to know
The roots are ours
The nourishing compost
is ours
All the sunlight in that chunk of sky in your courtyard —
that sky is ours
the light is ours.
The water flowing down from the hills is ours
The wind carrying seeds is ours
All the rest of the earth
is ours.

Banner Peak's iconic silhouette pierces the star-filled darkness as the Milky Way arcs overhead in this stunning night sky capture. The 12,945-foot granite spire stands sentinel against the cosmic backdrop, its dramatic profile instantly recognizable even in silhouette. Far from city lights in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, this pristine alpine environment offers some of California's darkest skies, where our galaxy's luminous band stretches across the heavens in breathtaking detail. The juxtaposition of ancient granite and ancient starlight creates a timeless scene of natural wonder.
An idea for something I’d come across recently in reading new features with Photoshop CC. This feature being the option to replace skies captured in an image with a set of blue skies. The image captured here was on the Fayette Station Bridge with a view looking to the south with a hillside of trees. My thinking in composing this image was to capture a portion of the steel structures of the bridge and have the trees as the backdrop to complement the setting. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 4. I then exported a TIFF image to Photoshop CC to make the sky replacement. I later worked in Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Foliage filter for that last effect on the image captured.

Brodie Castle is a well-preserved Z plan castle located about 3 1⁄2 miles west of Forres, in Moray, Scotland. The castle is a Category A listed building and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
On the third Sunday of every month, this tiny church building comes alive with people greeting one another, singing together in worship and, no doubt, listening to their minister's sermon. For the remaining days of the year, the weatherboard-construction sanctuary sits idle, a landmark for passing motorists to glimpse as they make their way along the Cooma Road.
While visiting the Southern Tablelands region in April this year, I noticed this church and returned to shoot nightscape photos last Friday, 16th June 2023. The cloudless and light-pollution-free skies in the area let the starlight shine brightly, and two Lume Cube LED lamps did a fine job illuminating the one-hundred-and-ten-year-old building for my photo. I set the lens' focus to be on the church, giving a slightly out-of-focus look to the sky.
Captured with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens @ f/13, I exposed this photo for 13 seconds at an ISO setting of 3200.
