This image of Gronez castle was taking at nighttime, when it was completely dark. The aim was to capture the beauty of nighttime when inflicted with clear skies allowing visibility to see the millions of stars which surround us. Also to capture the colours which are seen through the skies at night time which often can be quite extraordinary. This photo below was taken with a 30 second long shutter speed and an ISO of 6400. I used these settings to allow as much light sensitivity possible into the lens.

This is the original photo

On Affinity photo, by adjusting the white balance and giving the photo a tint of different colours I was able to bring the night sky to life with vibrant and interesting colours. Much of the night time photography I have come across appears to have these unrealistic colours added which I believe is extremely interesting and is very beneficial in creating a photo in which people will take their time to look at. By adding the colour i was able to turn an ordinary picture not something which is eye catching and engages the audience more.
