Eilean Donan Castle

Shot taken in May on a week long trip to Scotland. It rained for most of the week. Sun was coming in and out so there was a bit of waiting around. Really like the sky in this.
Applogies to anyone from Scotland as this castle has been photographed to death and I am sure your fed up of us tourist posting pictures of it:-)

It may have been shot to death but when you see another good shot like this, you can understand why. Something I hadn't notice before is the way that both buildings seem to lean to the left. It is more obvious in the building nearest the righthand edge as the edge allows a perpendicular against which to measure it. After 100s of years, the building might well be leaning or it might be an optical illusion.

I am pretty sure it isn't the photographer as the horizon looks spot on.

OR is it my eyes? Does anybody else see the same thing?

pentaxuser: :smile: Well spotted, I see this too. When I had the buildings straightened up on the easel and did my first print the horizon was off so I am not sure what is going on myself. Might it be the lens?. I really don't know why the buildings are leaning. Had a look on Flicker at other peoples shots from this angle and the building does not lean....

Cheers

Glad you didn't fall over the the tripod marks in the ground around the castle, and still made a such an effective picture.
