Conisbrough Castle
by davidstorm
Conisbrough Castle is an English Heritage property, made famous by Sir Walter Scott's novel 'Ivanhoe' in which it features on the opening page. Built in the 12th Century by Hamlyn Plantagenet, it is unique in England for its superb circular Norman Keep built from local Magnesium Limestone. It is a place of great atmosphere.

Thank you Nuri, I don't have much choice as it is the only wide angle lens I own, so I have to make best use of it! As it happens, I think it is a great lens for the cost, very contrasty and my copy is sharp at most apertures.

Best kept secret, this lens! Nice shot and a strong conversion.
Best wishes,

Nuri is spot on, might be time to dust mine off
Wonderful old castle shown off to perfection, you've highlighted the circular keep very well
