Dunster Castle

By Alice | Published: December 10, 2010


The other place that we visited was the nearby Dunster Castle, the inside was closed to visitors that day but the grounds were interesting to clamber around and had nice views out over the hills and the Bristol Channel. It wasn’t at all sunny like it was on the Exmoor day. We then walked into Dunster Village for a cup of tea in a teashop. We save the rock and roll behaviour for the evenings ;)

I’ve started taking pictures in RAW format and so far I’m very pleased. Why I’d held off for so long is that I take so many pictures and as the RAW files are such large file sizes storage is an issue. I’m just trying to get more ruthless in deleting the duds and the maybes. I’ve pretty much stopped updating my Flickr but I aim to be back on it in the New Year, it’s one of my resolutions.

    I envy that with England’s long existence comes so many amazing castles to explore. Australia is so young in comparison!

    These pictures are a dream. I love sharing your blog with my mum, she’s always had a thing for this old British/Irish/Scottish look. I think I should save up and get her a country home – thatched roof, copper pots, and all! Do you mind my asking what you shoot with? I’m also on a camera hunt and love the way these came out!

    Thanks for sharing :)

      Hi Rachel! I am glad you like the pictures :) I use a Canon 450D DSLR. The lens I use most often is an EFS 15-85 3.5-5.6 USM but there are cheaper lenses that are good too. I recently also bought an Olympus EP-1 that I am looking forward to trying too :)
