Blithfield Reservoir HDR

[djaphoto]

This is roughly 5 miles from my house in Staffordshire, the res supplies our water and is home to a mass of wildflife including some impressive birds.

Anyhow, hope you like the simple image looking out across the res. I chose to use the rugged fence to the right of the bush as my line into the shot

Dark Star: Thanks mate, much appreciated. I wouldn't say it's near Tamworth, you're looking at a good 30 minute drive I'd say. Head for Lichfield then Rugeley, then towards Uttoxeter, and you'll cross this res

Mazda: I'm guessing oyu've seen my ideal HDR choices now lol, glad you approve on this too
