Managed to get out yesterday for the first proper little photography jaunt since Arthur was born. Nice weird day too - weather very moody and changeable. This was the only keeper though, really. Trying to leave off the HDR at the moment and concentrate on using my ND filters properly. This is just with a graduated filter to darken the sky a little, and then a touch of post processing to lighten the trees, as they were a bit too black.
Techical details: iso 200, f/11, handheld, 21mm.

On a bike ride a couple of weeks ago, I noticed the stark patterns created by the heavy ploughing of this field, and as I was snapping away, a break in the cloud caused these lovely sunbeams to appear. This was a handheld HDR, which can come out terribly if you’re unlucky, but photomatix was able to match these up pretty well.

I wasn’t sure about this one at first - but Ali convinced me that it was worth keeping. I was going into town to buy a new tripod, but looking around Jessops realised that i’d be better off researching and buying online.
I went into the park, bothered the birds in the aviary (it’s hard to get any decent pics - there’s a wire mesh in the way), and then got the tree picture in the post before this, then tried resting the camera on the floor to get some pictures of the leaf bed.
Didn’t really like ‘em at first… but they have grown on me. So here you go!

I’ve been down to the park a couple of times recently in the hope of getting some nice photographs - I’ve failed miserably each time - until I managed this one today, which is the first I really like.
The autumn colours have been looking so good that I really wanted to capture them, but all my compositions have ended up being distinctly uninspiring. I was ambling around after bothering the birds in the aviary when I spotted this, and had a go.
