Challenge: Abandoned Buildings (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Kinnoul Hill, Perth, Scotland
Date: Apr 10, 2005
Galleries: Landscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Apr 11, 2005

 This prominent landmark is on Kinnoul Hill sitting on the Cliffs above Perth (Scotland). Couldn't get a decent shot showing the height and vertical cliff just over the edge from the tower.

Apparently it's a favourite local suicide spot too....nice.

Shot in RAW and tweaked a bit to get decent evening colours. Still not sure what I'm doing with this RAW business.

Wish I could've cloned out the information plaque buy not under these rules.

Going out tomorrow to try and get something better , if this is still submitted then obviously I didn't and I went out to play guitar and get drunk instead.

The challenge to me or at least in my opinion is about abandoned buildings not ruins so in my opinion I don't feel that this fits the challenge. It is a well composed shot with excellent color and clarity with an excellent view. Good luck in this challenge.

Pretty nice shot. I like the asymetry in this, divided by the tower in the middle. The lighting is soft and nice. The sky is decent although it could have been shot at a better time.

Well.....this is just a beautiful shot. Too bad about the fence in the window. Good luck!
