It was chilly but I think it was worth it! I got up at 7:15, which was a challenge in itself and rode with my kit down to some local fields, would love to know what you think!

Cheers

Leighton








Loads more but have to coursework to catch up on, I'll try and put them up later!

Brave man!

Mind you I was out doing unpaid family taxi work until 3am so there was no way I was about to get up that early!

Number 5 (Portrait orientation) will take a strong dose of lightening, contrast and some sharpening in the foreground. Slight de-saturation optional. In fact I think it presents well in a number of different interpretations which would be useful for, say, a stock image.

That said I think you are always going to be setting yourself an extra challenge when shooting against the sun so kudos for getting up so early on such a cold day to do battle!
