Wallingford Castle

There isn’t much left of Wallingford Castle; a moat type ditch, a couple of minor walls plus plenty of bumps and mounds. This morning, in the first decent day of weather for an age, I took a wander along the Thames and into the castle grounds. The intention was to take a few macro shots of the buttercups that are smothering the fields at the moment so I only took the ageing 24-105mm lens and a reversing ring. The closeups are fine, I’ll post a couple perhaps, but this panorama I rather liked.

It is formed from five stitched images and heavily cropped top and bottom.

I admit it is not the greatest landscape image, not helped by the sub-par quality of the lens but I find it pleasing. I should also note that the sky was replaced via the new sky replacement filter in photoshop.
