Lucky enough to get there on a lovely autumn afternoon, just before the sun went behind the trees…

Hi Maurice,
Lovely Autumn colours in the trees on the RHS and nice reflection.
I like it and lucky you to get there on such a nice day..Al
Beans – I was also lucky that I have an understanding wife and had managed to leave the kids at home for the weekend. It really is a great spot to visit and getting the timing right with the light shows the value of using tools like the Photographers Ephemeris to plan your shoot.
lovely image, the colors are great. i have never heard of the photographers ephemeris before, looks pretty interesting… so you can look up exactly what time the sun/moon will be in the right spot for the shoot and not leave it to chance? does it take the weather into account?
Isabella – nope, it just tells you when and from which direction sunset, sunrise. moonset and moonrise will be. Doesn’t handle weather I’m afraid but does handle time of year etc. Its free for the PC version and is well worth having. I only get limited time to shoot photos (damn you real life!) so I like to make sure I get where I’m shooting at the right time. For Johnstown Castle I checked it out on Google maps first to get an idea of the landscape, direction of lake etc and used the Photographers Ephemeris to work out when the sun would be shining along the lake and into the castle. Turned out to be just before sunset (the builders probably did that on purpose) which worked out really well. And as luck had it, it was a lovely still day which gave great reflections…
Nice image although, for me, the sky is a let down. Nice reflection and Autumn colours
