DREW’S COMMENT

There was a large amount of pond

weed in part of the castle moat that

made it difficult to shoot a reflection from the

front of the castle. Undeterred, we wandered

around to the back of the castle where the

water was much clearer. I lined up a shot of these towers in the

portrait orientation as there wasn’t enough going on in the

scene to shoot landscape, and used a telephoto focal length to

zoom in to make it fill the frame. Reducing my ISO to 50 and

using a Lee Big Stopper filter blocked out 10 stops of light

giving me a shutter speed over two minutes.
