multiple shots then average your tourists away, creates quite an eerie feel too.

An alternative is to use a very dark ND filter (or even a welding mask glass). Very long exposure gives the same effect as Brettus' suggestion.

Windsor! Why didn't I think of that one instead of traipsing out to Hertfordshire... Oh well, as you say it's difficult to get past the hoards of Japanese tourists when close up but I do know of a spot a mile or two out that has a nice view of it dominating the town. Sounds like I have something to do next weekend now .

Right, I've got 3-4 new castle options now, I surely CAN'T be blocked with these, it's like playing tic-tac-toe with castles with you lot

I just need to get off my butt and get out to one of them now, although the bar is already pretty high!

Try for the underground bar at Peckforton. It's gorgeous!

Does the castle have to be real?
