The Prisoner of Chillon

The Prisoner of Chillon

Uploaded: September 18, 2005 02:09:58

Description

This is the dungeon where Lord Byron was held prisoner in Montreux, Switzerland.

1/10s @ f/3.5, ISO 1600, 28 mm f.l.
It was dark in there so I bumped up ISO to max and opened up f/stop. I buZZed it a little to get rid of the graininess.

This is so beautiful Cathy - I love everything about this. The slight effect you've applied is perfect.
Great capture - I had so much fun catching up on all of your wonderful images that I've missed.
They are all so beautiful.

Wonderful color, perspective, shapes and exposure.
As nice as you've made this look, I certainly wouldn't want to have been held prisoner here.
