Location
This photo was on location in the winter in Germany. I was touring the countryside and saw signposts to the castle. I thought I would chase it down. It was a steep hike down and unfortunately, the inside of the castle was closed.Time
It was about an hour before dark.Lighting
It was a cold, flat light from the overcast winter sky. This lended itself to the black and white version.Equipment
Nikon D600 with 16-35mm lensInspiration
It look like a fairytale castle. Something from a Disney cartoon. I love old buildings like castles and cathedrals.Editing
Converted to black and white using Nik Silver Efex 2In my camera bag
Camera, lens, hat, gloves, rain cover for camera, lens cloth, black rapid strap, battery, memory card.Feedback
Walk around as much as possible with a subject like this. Interesting viewpoints may not be the first ones you see.
