  • Ashness Bridge

    Another experiment in HDRI of Ashness bridge in the Lake District:



    I bit of movement in the leaves on the tree on the left (bit windy).

    Would have been nice with blue sky and white clouds............ but ho hum

    A classic view and you've done it justice. Well composed and restrained HDR treatment. It would be boring if all landscape pictures featured blue sky and fluffy white clouds, this sky does at least have a bit of drama and you might have got away with darkening it a tad more, to make it slightly more menacing. Very nice.

      Yes, an excellent job of the classic view. Glad to see it hasn't changed since 1965 (!) when I went there as a kid

        Thanks John, Pete. I think it can be too easy to overdo HDR so I try to keep it subtle so that it looks natural yet just capturing the shadows and highlights.

        Cheers,

          Gorgeous shot Steve, and one where you have applied wonderful processing. This is one of the nicest shots I have seen in a while.

            Yeah, I love that one. Sun can be nice but we aren't seeing much sun in eastern Australia at the moment either.

              A well processed shot.

                Very nice processing of the main part of the image but for me the sky is a touch too dark and foreboding and doesn't balance overlly well with the rest of the shot.
                Crackin' composition.
                Just my opinion you understand.

                  This has come out very well. Glad to see you've managed to retain some shadows to give feeling. I like the dark brooding skies.

                    Very nicely done, the clouds add to the atmosphere of the area. I took this last year from th road to Ashness Bridge

                        I AGREE.......saw many images from this viewpoint but never with all this great detail.
