Title: Storming (at) the Castle(s)
Post by: MattBurt on June 30, 2021, 11:26:04 am
It was storming. I was looking at a formation called The Castles.
I got a new long lens, a 150-450 which is my first modern lens over 200mm. A nice rainy evening seemed like a good time to get it out in the elements (it's weather resistant). The rain is a huge relief for us too. It's still pretty dry but this helps.

and one with the trusty 24-70, processed as a fake IR mono.

reminds me of scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" where Frodo and Sam get caught by the ring wraiths at the old fort ruins.
Splendid captures !

Thanks and yeah, I was saying it looks like something from Middle Earth while shooting it and you're the second person to mention it. So I guess you must be right!
