A number of weeks ago I did a Re-work of Crom-Abu Bridge in Athy. This week I have used a similar shot that shows more of White Castle and only part of the bridge. It was taken from the far bank of the Barrow river on the opposite side of the bridge. Athy is a nice little town to explore with plenty to see. I took many shots down here the day after a family Wedding back in 2012. I did very little PP on this image, just a mono conversion and then played around with the sliders to achieve the look I wanted. I still like the color image, but find that the B&W version has greater mood and atmosphere.So that’s it for this weeks Re-work, hopefully you enjoyed the re-worked image and I will see you all next Wednesday for another image taken from the archives.
For these and more of my images, why not visit my Website or join me on Facebook or Twitter

Wow Ed I can hardly believe thats the same image…what a different atmosphere you have created! Dark, moody, mysterious…looks like something out of GofT!!!

Thanks Ali, you are not far wrong, Winterfell is actually Castle Ward, just outside Belfast. Quite alot of the show was shot in Northern Ireland 🙂

I do like the monochrome image – especially the cropping out of the utility pole. It also seems to have more of a focus on the structure – whereas the color shot you see the whole of the context in which the castle is set. Happy Wednesday!

I love color pictures, but I really love the moodiness of the black and white and it’s more….medieval looking. Great work! 🙂
