I got wet, again, worth it? (1)

So, the first outing with camera for a couple of weeks and of course it was raining....so off I popped to Bolton Abbey where I await with anticipation the colours of Autumn. But the mild weather is holding things back a bit, but still, chosing selective areas I think I managed a few keepers - let me know.

I was already to take this shot, perched on a rock with the Wharfe slowly swelling, and out pops this fellow, brill. He even stood still enought for a 1.6 second exposure - f16 - CPL. Had to be very careful in all cases to avoid the pointless sky!

My guess is the circular polariser filter. I got a similar effect (completely by accident) in one of my shots recently.

I'd have to say that shots as good as those are always worth getting a little dirty or wet. The first and second shots are definately my favorites. I could see them being used perhaps for some sort of travel add.

Great work!

a circ pol will help to cut down the light, tripod mount and use shutter speed of 1 sec or more

Great pictures!

Neil, ,i usually go to the gym when the weather is wet,you are a brave man,they came out very well indeed.

beautiful shots!

Super Duper Job _ Neil.

Beautiful shots ,well worth getting wet for.


john20d,gitzo and stuff

Very, very nice stuff... I quite like all three of them. Framing and choice of subject/angles are great

It sure was worth it to get wet! I like the first one because of the character and the mist. Looks like something from a movie.

Really like the man in the first one (fly fisherman?)
