I could have been doing with a tripod for more depth of field (you won't notice at this resolution) but needs must when on a stroll with the wife.briantrumpet said:pblakeney said:More autumn. Brought to you by rain and a polarising filter.
Nice
The polarising filter is really the only thing I miss from my Rollei 35 & OM1 days. Actually, the depth-of-field preview was sometimes quite useful on the OM1, but the rest of the faffing around I don't miss at all.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It's starting to sprawl a bit now, but given its population is 130k now, to be able to get from city centre into proper rural scenery within 4-5 miles in nearly every direction is still a delight. I really don't know if I'd bother with riding, other than commuting, if I were in centralish London, or similar.0 -

This is not my picture but it's such an important message I feel it has a place on here

Yeah waaay too fast - no wonder there are ripples on the water.0 -

The number of times I'm disappointed when I think that the Exe is going to be completely calm... either there's just a tiny breath of air, or someone in a boat decides they are going to ruin it all, just to spite me...
Mind you, the slight ripple kinda works in this one from a couple of days ago...

It's the sea. It's supposed to have ripples. If it was perfectly flat it would look like one of those portraits where one side of a face is mirrored to make something very unnatural looking.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

It's the unnaturalness and rarity that is appealing. Ripples are just too normal...0 -
Unnatural looking you say?rjsterry said:It's the sea. It's supposed to have ripples. If it was perfectly flat it would look like one of those portraits where one side of a face is mirrored to make something very unnatural looking.
Here is one of mine from the weekend. There are some ripples in the bottom right though.

I like this.briantrumpet said:
Is it taken at Hanneford's Quay (where there is space for about 5 cars to park at the water's edge) or farther along near the corner where the road turns inland (so where the Goat Walk begins)?
Eitherway, a lovely place to live.0 -
Kind of confirming my point. The reflection is always very slightly different. I think this slight difference makes all the (ahem) difference. Otherwise it just looks like a CGI.pblakeney said:

Close... from the Causeway that goes down from the telephone kiosk at the end of Higher Shapter Street.0 -

I took the shot as it looked abstract through the lens. I find it unsatisfying when seen full size so won't be keeping it. I could digitally crop it tighter and get rid of all ripples.rjsterry said:

Any light fall off in the reflection can be rectified too. Using a filter, dodge & burn, or software. It'll still be an unsettling shot IMO though.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

That's nice. I've never taken a photo I like of that tarn, but the reflections here make the expanse of water interesting compositionally, instead of being a boring big area in the photo.0 -
@jimmyjams - the causeway in shot here. It's a good time of year for interesting light at this spot, as the sun sets directly at the end of the causeway - the golden glow as I came round the corner was extraordinary.
