Hadleigh Castle in shadow looking across the Thames Estuary – a study in light, ruin and open sky. Quiet, stark and timeless.

Photo shows foundations of stone walls on a grassy hillside. Beneath the hill, a low plain is marked out by farm fields. It will be hard to see in the low resolution image on Bluesky, but beyond the fields is a winding creek and behind that a densely populated island. The sky is full of grey clouds.

From my experiment, a lower aperture works better since I was only focusing on the castle. -Canon EOS 100D -F/16 -1/125s -ISO 200 -12mm with a wide angle lens. -Taken around 12:30 -Brighten the sky and increased the contrast in the foreground. -Increased colouration in the grass and the castle. -Changed the background to a greyer blue with light levels.
This was an experimental shoot with low aperture and a wide angle lens. Most of my shoots are intended with the camera placed low to the ground to increase scale. -Canon EOS 100D -F/9 -1/500s -ISO 200 -14mm with a wide angle lens. -Taken around 12:30 -Used a mono mixer and increase contrast in the background for the clouds to appear more clearly. -Cropped the bottom of the image to have the sky the main focus. -Adjusted light levels to brighten the grass.
A factor I wanted to try out was to combine a wide angle lens with a 16:9 ratio in my camera settings. I stuck with 4:3 with my other types of shoots, felt like a good change. -Canon EOS 100D -F/9 -1/500s -ISO 200 -16mm with a wide angle lens. -Taken around 12:30 -Adjusted colouration in the foreground. -Added a slight blue hue to the sky. -Cropped the sides to off set the castle.

The castle was my intended photoshoot, the insects were a good addition. I planned to redo this shoot since my old project. With new glass lens to use combined with a different ratio, this shoot went well.
