I seem to be spending a large amount of time around ruined buildings with my camera these days. Over the bank holiday weekend Lauren and myself decided to drive over to Dun Laoghaire for lunch and to take some photos. An hour or so later we ended up in Glengalough instead. I’m glad we changed out minds as it was a beautiful day out there and Lauren had never seen the old monastery before.

I took this photo with a crowd of Americans and Germans around the tower. It was hard to get a shot without some florescent jacket poking it’s way in but knelling on the grass with a wide angle lens looking up did the trick.

The tower was silhouetted against the sun and I didn’t have my flash with me so I had to work with the available light and quite a bit of work in Lightroom later on but I kinda like the result I was eventually able to get. Course it may look awful on other screens, but I won’t know until I post it and find out.
