Taken in Conniston, Lake district

F32 1/4 sec

I did some more shots later at up to 4 seconds but this is my

favourite as I ctually like a little detail in the water rather than

the mist that the longer exposures give.

What do you think?

Hi David:

I can understand why your eye went to this scene. I'd recommend a tighter crop, to better frame the little waterfall and some adjustments in color balance (this is a bit blue/red) and EV to better saturate the natural colors. Quick example attached. I understand the small aperture (to get some water blur) but shooting at f32 will degrade crisp focus. Lens just do not perform well at that end of the range. You might try using a neutral density filter instead and targeting your lens' sweet spot for aperture.

You're right about the crop. I actually already cropped this photo twice but I agree that yours is better. For some reason I liked the big rock at the bottom right but I was wrong.

I have also ordered a colorometer but it hasn't arrived yet so I think I'll get the colour balance better in the future. I hope so but as I am actually colour blind you never know - Pink water anybody? ;-)

Dave
