Mark Hamilton, Herstmonceux Castle (October theme: Connections)

Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England. Bridges have been used for centuries, to connect two sides over water. A fisheye lens was used for this shot. The camera was held as high as possible above my head to show more of the bridge and the moat. The screen flip out so I could compose the shot. I wanted the castle close to the centre but lowered camera angle slightly to get more bridge in. As a photographer its always nice to get blue sky and some clouds, unless of course you're going for dark and dramatic.
