Back to the castle

I keep being drawn  back to Slains Castle as a photographic subject.   The way it sit on the cliff top with the rocks and breakers below has given me lots of different photographs these past couple of years.  Last month I was up at the castle to watch the sunrise and I managed a few dramatic silhouettes.

Today I was trying out straight on shot with the road leading to the castle.  One of my favourite pictures of the castle had been taken from that position with a pack of dogs running towards me.   On this occasion I was trying to meet a challenge set by my camera magazine  to take a picture with the main subject central.  Good old “Dracula’s Castle” has come up trumps again!
