Can't See the Wood for the Trees

Along with my landscapes I also HDR Photography (High Dynamic Range). Using this technique brings out more details in your images and can produce some very nice results.

At present I alternate between Dynamic Photo and Photomatix for my HDR processing.

Photographs are either taken in camera using Auto Bracketing so I get three images at 0 +2 -2, or one image then the exposures created in Lightroom before processing HDR.

This image is a single file with 5 exposures created using Lightroom at 0 -2 -4 +2 +4 then a free downloadable preset.

Richmond Waterfalls

Back in February, myself and a friend tackled Dog Agility Photography, with very little success, mainly due to the event being held indoors, and you were not allowed to use flash.

After 500+ photographs, we decided to get back into our comfort zone of landscapes. As luck would have it, the sun was just about to set, so out came the ND filters, and I ended up with this photo here.

Oilseed Rape Fields

Its that time of year again where when you look into the fields of the countryside you see a carpet of yellow Oilseed.  Personally I think its very photogenic, especially when you have a nice blue sky with clouds to blend in with.

Using the Rule of Thirds to help with composition you can come up with some great images. 

This is one image I took yesterday, more can be found here, plus more to be added so make sure you keep checking back.

Helmsley Castle, North Yorkshire

Haven't posted for a little while due to setting up new laptop etc and out photographying.  Have covered more ground in North Yorkshire these past couple of weeks, and am still going through my photographs.

Had a drive to Helmsley Castle, North Yorkshire on Sunday - a wonderful place, well worth a visit.  Apart from the castle itself, there are other towns and villages nearby to visit too.

Helmsely Castle is maintained by English Heritage, with other properties close by, such as Bylands Abbey and Rievaulx Abbey.
