Best timing
Golden hour is the primary window for photography here, especially during sunset when the light hits the western-facing walls and illuminates the textures of the stone. High tide is particularly crucial if you want to capture the floating effect of the castle over the bay, as low tide exposes muddy flats that may be less aesthetically pleasing. Late autumn and winter offer dramatic, stormy skies that complement the rugged nature of the fortress. During these months, the sun stays lower in the sky, providing directional light for most of the day and enhancing the three-dimensional feel of the architecture.
