Got up at 6.30am today and drove up to Glencoe to get some landscape shots. I spent the entire day there... it was actually quite good being there alone, being able to go at my own pace and do what I want. Having said that, I didn't really come back with many great shots, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I was just having a bad day.

I literally had to crawl under a massive rhododendron bush to get to this location. It's actually 3 shots merged together.

Sweet shot. Since you said merger of 3 shots, I think you ran into dynamic range issues, the light seems a bit too strong.

Considered GND filters?

John said...: Thanks a lot Mathias... much appreciated.; 10:43 pm, August 04, 2005
John said...: Eastjoker - I don't know whose site I visited then! :); 10:44 pm, August 04, 2005
John said...: hey Obelix,

Thanks for the comments. I shot all of the frames in manual, and was actually surprised that I got the same reading for each of the three frames. So there wasn't a problem in that respect.

Perhaps it is because the shot was taken mid afternoon when the sun was still quite high and bright. I did do some shadow recovery in PS though. Is it the water that you find a little too dark?

I've only got a 1 stop GND filter at the moment, but didn't use it on this occassion.

Thanks for the input.; 10:49 pm, August 04, 2005
