Garden Waterfall

Do you have a model release on file? 

No

When was the photo taken? 

June 22 2009

Photo Description 

This is a waterfall in the gardens of Dunvegan Castle, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. We were vacationing in a cottage in the grounds of the castle and after 5:30 PM the castle was closed to tourists, at which time we were the only people left on the site. This gave a delightfully proprietorial feeling to us as we walked alone in "our garden". See here http://www.pillowworks.com/blogpw2/scotland-in-2009/the-castle-gardens/ for more pictures.

Tips and Tricks 

* Taken in the early evening (about 7 pm) on a cloudy day, I was able to use 1/10th second exposure on this shot. Using such a slow shutter speed enhances the effect of the moving water.
