Following last weeks test shoot at Ladybower and not being entirely happy with how things had gone I decided to go again on Sunday. I organised my equipment the night before including the following:
- Charging battery
- Checking memory card was empty
- Leaving tripod at the side of camera bag
I set off much earlier this time and arrived at Ladybower at approx 10am and managed to park with no problem. It was a dull / overcast morning at the outset and the first few photographs taken with an iso of 100 were rather dark. I slowed down the shutter speed and lowered the f stop to give a larger aperture and also tried setting the white balance on ‘cloudy’ and this showed some improvement, I also upped the iso to 200 but this seemed too bright in some instances. I was determined to make the best of it so took numerous photographs with different white balance settings within the ‘cloudy’ option, an iso of 100 or 200 and also from different vantage points around the reservoir.
See below for a selection of images. As last week I have shown the original un-edited image along with the edited version. I’ve found that I have only needed to make minor adjustments this week and have not been so heavy-handed with the editing options available to me :o)
