A Castle Beneath the Cosmos

For centuries, Bodiam Castle has stood as a silent sentinel over the East Sussex landscape. On this warm summer night, it found itself under a celestial masterpiece. The Milky Way, rich with detail, stretches high above the fortress, its galactic core burning with subtle hues of gold and magenta. The still waters of the moat create a perfect reflection, doubling the grandeur of the scene, while a thin veil of mist adds an ethereal touch, softening the castle’s imposing structure.

The composition is one of harmony—medieval stone and endless sky, the weight of history and the vastness of the universe. The delicate glow from within the castle’s towers adds warmth, hinting at the past that lingers within its walls. This was a moment that had been planned for a while, waiting for the alignment of weather, light, and season to bring it to reality.

For me, this is a culmination of patience, vision, and the perfect meeting of place and time. A stunning piece for lovers of astronomy, history, and the rare beauty of night photography.

Why Choose This Print?

Bodiam Castle, shrouded in mist and bathed in soft light, stands beneath a breath-taking display of the Milky Way. The castle’s reflection in the still waters of the moat adds to the scene’s dreamlike quality, making this an image that feels both timeless and otherworldly. A long-awaited bucket list capture, this composition required perfect conditions—clear summer skies, the right moment before moonrise, and the patience to finally bring this vision to life. This print is ideal for those who appreciate astrophotography, historic landmarks, and the magic of rare, perfectly timed moments.

Prints

This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.

Canvas

Framed with 100% solid pine, my canvases are hand stretched for a professional and durable finish. A canvas will give your photo a more textured and artistic look, as well as a gallery-style appearance.

Crafted on UK Pilkington glass offering exceptional durability and clarity, my work really shines on this medium. Each photo is UV printed to the glass, giving you a vibrant and vivid result.

Important Information

Cropping

Please note that some cropping may occur depending on the size you choose for your photo. This is because different sizes have different aspect ratios, which affect how the photo fits on the paper, canvas or glass. I will try to preserve as much of the original photo as possible, but some edges may be cut off to avoid distortion or blank spaces, or to accommodate the chosen size.

Colour Reproduction

Also, please be aware that colours may vary from what you see on your screen to what you receive in print. This is because different screens have different settings and calibrations, which affect how colours are displayed. Additionally, printing techniques and materials may also cause some slight differences in colour reproduction and saturation. The labs I print with use high-quality printers and papers to ensure that the photo looks as close to the original as possible, but some minor variations are inevitable and normal. If you have any questions or concerns about the colours of your photo, please contact me before you place your order.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of my products, I do not offer refunds or returns after the sale. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. If your order arrives damaged in transit, please contact me immediately with a photo of the damaged item. I will replace the damaged item at no additional cost to you. Please note: I cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I hope you enjoy your photo and thank you for choosing SRB Photos.
