Autumnal Gold
Gold Leaves scattered everywhere with peat laden water after heavy rain.
Misty day with bright above; causing a few unwanted reflections that the polariser couldn't deal with.

28mm/Tpod/FF/
160asa/24sec/F4
ND6 and no HDR

Peak District, Padley Gorge.

Bread and butter, and I have to admit a lot lot easier on digital rather than the film 617.

Beautiful Tom, looks fine on my monitor (monthly calibration done last night) too! I don't mind the reflections at all but being very picky I think I would have removed that long vertical stick in the lower right of frame!

Looks good to me :smile:
I've never taken a landscape at f4 but it seems to have worked well for you here.
Well done.

Geoff.

Tom, call me old fashisoned, but it's great to see landscapes without the HDR treatment. Andrew

The diagonal comp works extremely well and the colours are a joy.
