One thing that crossed my mind when I visited so many castle ruins last fall in the UK was to shoot this photo. So on and on we went from castle to castle looking for the perfect tower and none of them seem to make an interesting photograph – they were too smooth or too run down, or had stairs, roof or modern scaffolding along the sides, or you just plain couldn’t walk in… until we stopped at Tretower in the Powys county in Wales. The keep is really small but it had the exact tower I was looking for, with the added benefits of small ledges and growing vegetation which really adds something to the shot. So here it is… and no it isn’t HDR, although there are 3 exposures mixed in the final shot.
