Very tricky trying to capture the depth of the scene and as a result it is a little "flatter" than I would have liked.

I know, I meant Cambridge! I'm in Huntingdon  Wow, it's a small world! This is a 'nearly there' image, most elements come together quite well, but needs an additional point of interest to lift the image? Yes, that's exactly it! Maybe something in the FG or a lead-in element, what do you think? View my gear list HERE

It's mostly midtone. I had to open it up in photoshop because I was curious to see what the histogram looked like..  Alot of the shadow detail is cropped off the histogram. Which I think is why it looks flat. You could try to move the midtone data to the the highlight side of the histogram making the shadows darker, but you will lose some image qulaity in the final product by doing this:  Just a suggestion, It's a good idea to check your histogram after a shot like this to see if you got all of the data recorded. If not, you can always adjust your exposure and retake. Also, RAW is more forgiving than JPEG when it comes to shifting data around the histogram.

Ok, well I've tried a few different raw conversions, but it's hard to punch out more shadow detail without it looking "over-cooked". Even with a bit of dodging and burning it starts to look very "plasticy" View my gear list HERE

So, know any good locations around Cambridge to go shooting? Apart from the city itself I mean  Mmmm, well in terms of landscapes, not really. It's quite frustrating living in such a flat part of the world, it's not the most photogenic. I gues the nearest place would have to be the Norfolk Broads. View my gear list HERE

Maybe have to arrange a shoot in Cambridge some time so I can play with your 24-105  No problem! Cambridge has some nice places if you want to experiment with low-light shots. Coming up to the right time of year for it now with the dark evenings View my gear list HERE
