Morton Castle by Night Part Two

from £52.00

I think we could have spent the whole week circumnavigating this castle. Although the weather had been dull for most of the week the location really did lend itself to photography. To be honest the fun we had stumbling around in the dark really added to the experience.

The original castle dates back to around 1260 and was part of a chain of fortifications along the strategically important Nith Valley. In 1357 Morton was one of thirteen castles ordered to be destroyed to secure the release of David II under the Treaty of Berwick. For this reason it is unclear how much of the original castle remains. It is thought that much of the castle was rebuilt in 15th century.

We had a much longer walk for this shot, and as I had forgotten my head torch we only had a dynamo lantern we found at the holiday cottage to help us navigate the loch. This is taken from the opposite side of the loch to the other image on this website. We had virtually full cloud and I was dubious if anything would come out under these conditions. This was shot with a 30 second exposure and at F4 with ISO 2000. This image for me is all about mood and to be honest you would be forgiven for thinking the long history of this place was bleeding out around us as we stood in the pitch black night, punctuated occasionally by the rhythmic whirring of a wind up lantern!

Both options of this print are limited to a maximum of 25 before the print is retired.

I only use L-Type for the production of my artwork. Why? Well because they produce some of the best prints I have ever seen and they only reproduce the files that I send to them. As an art

I have given here what from experience are the two most popular options, however please do contact me if you require anything else. Size, Paper, Canvas etc can all be accommodated.
