Ruthven Barracks, Kingussie, Scotland
Ruthven Barracks with available floodlighting
This was shot approximately 12 hours after my first attempt, previous post, this time at dusk as the light was falling, the barracks are floodlit but only on one end, which doesn’t make for much interest and only a small portion actually lit. Also with little light in the sky due to the short exposure.
Ruthven Barracks floodlit plus torchlight
Far from a perfect outcome, but still a significant improvement over the non torch version, exposure increased to allow time to torch light the remainder of the ruin and to get some light in the sky.
The main problem really was getting some over exposure from the floodlit end, within the time I had to torchlight, it was unavoidable to some extent, some over excessive glow and halo on the right side and a enough sky detail for a little asthetics.
The distance from torch to ruin, approximately 400m is a little too far for great effect, but not bad for a second attempt, maybe I will have another go and see if I can improve it some time.

So what do you plan to try to lessen the glowing and haloing? Lovely setting to work on.
Theoretically I would need to be closer to allow me to get a stronger beam onto the dark areas, the problem here is the distance from torch to ruin and the light fall off due to the distance.Being closer would allow me to get more light on the ruin in less time, therefore, theoretically at least, allowing me to have a more even balance of torch light and floodlight, time will tell ha ha.Thanks for your comment.
