If I could offer one single piece of photography advice, it would be – “Take far more shots than you need. Make sure its ‘in the can’, instead of wishing you’d done things differently.” Looking back through my folders I found some ‘handy looking’ Infrared exposures I’d made of the cooling towers at Thorpe Marsh last summer… Lightly HDR’d to lose some of the flare and finished, without too much fuss, using a subtle blue tone.
A bit of fun …. Taken from my front door it seems the neighbours have hidden away a pot of gold! Should you not see me for a while I am gone ‘digging’ LOL Thank you for looking. Canon 50D / Canon EF 28-125mm / F/7.1 / 1/250 sec Central west slopes, plains & gold
