Newcastle Emlyn Castle Ruins, Carmarthenshire, West Wales, UK

Please let me know what you think of this image. Thanks. Jon

beautiful lighting, color. A postcard shot. I'm inspired to visit Wales. I just wish your scan was slightly less grainy, what scanner are you using?

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

 

This was scanned some 8 yrs ago from a 35mm neg (velvia probably) and has been rescued since I discovered the " joys " of colour calibration. i did not realise that my old system meant everyone else saw my images some 2 zones darker than what I saw on screen. rescuing has probably led to the grain. I have yet to run this through Neat image which will reduce the noise( mostly in the sky?). Scanned on an early (low quality by today's standard Epson scanner) can't remember the model. i no longer have the transparency otherwise would scan again. i will post a version ran through neat image just for comparison when i get round to doing it!

 

Thanks

As you stated above, there is a lot of grain ... but the light is wonderful! You choose the right moment.

 

Thanks for your comment on my last submission,

 

best regards

Alberto

This is the best photograph I've seen of this castle, the light and shade distribution is perfect. Great colour.

Alberto and David,

 

thanks for the comments and thanks for spending some of your time with my images.

 

David, thanks for that comment, It is a hard place to get a reasonable image of. Have you visited the castle?

 

Jon

Yes I have Jon and I agree it's very difficult to do it justice. I have some photographs buried away somewhere that are nowhere near as good as this.

 

Regards

David
