Re: Stirling Castle through my 10 stop filter

Hi Gordon, This looks to me to have a very low presence/punch, it looks as though you had very hard lighting conditions to work with and this has not helped you to get the best out of this wonderful vista.

I can't see how the 10 stop filter has had any marked effect (blurred clouds etc) on this picture.

Perhaps a re-visit on a different day may help? I'm not sure.

Sorry to sound negative, but on a positive I like the framing

Great to see folks experiment. On the second shot despite the dark glass you've retained a lot a good detail and a crisp focus.

Never give up I agree with Ken a revisit, and keep practising with it It's a beautiful location and building, and TBH these are still nice images x
