United Kingdom Tolbooth on The Cannongate, Edinburgh's 'Old Town'
Deep in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, you can find amazing night and day shots through the alleys (or closes as we call them). Night time adds mystery in the shadows.
Photography Tips
It takes patience to avoid the tourists, buses and traffic - especially on long exposures. For best results in dealing with the deep shadows and bright street lighting, use bracketing and merge using HDR software like Aurora HDR with Luminar.
Travel Information
It is best to walk the city which is very compact - most of the historical highlights are within a 1 mile radius of the castle.
