Have recently got out with the camera with a bit more time to spare, and these are some of my shots. Im quite happy with them but know that they can be greatly improved (Remember way back at school doing art, and at the start of the year I was very happy with my work, only to review it at the end of the year to look at it differently and realise how much I had improved). Problem being here now is that I dont have a teacher on hand to advise regularly and I feel a bit on my own.
These were 3 bracketed exposures, on tripod, with camera timer, blended together in Lightroom HDR (I accept that some might say they are a bit overdone but have tried to make them pop without going way too far). Have read recently that using mid range apertures like f11 etc is reecommended -these were around f20 I think on a wide angle lens - I didnt go for the smallest aperture as I had read that you are best not to go the whole way but to step back a couple. Im aware of the composition rules, foreground interest, lead in lines, rule of thirds etc and try to apply if I can.
I guess I would like to go out again now with a few pointers from others who have much more experience than me so if any of you good folk can give me even the smallest pieces of advice, that would be great...
of advice that would be great...
