The Autumn this year was somewhat of a let down, the poor unseasoned weather throughout the year was too much for our trees and the bloom of colour never took off. However I was able to head out on a couple of occasions and caught this in mid afternoon along the River Plym at Shaugh Prior.

This was a tricky image to blend and I took much time and techniques trying to accomplish what I wanted, it has certainly raised a few flaws in my current techniques and I'll be looking to improve on them during the dark evenings over winter.

I think this is also underexposed really, needs a bit of a lift. Composition is great though

Hello, Beautiful shot, I noticed that while there this year end of october, and I was wondering whether I went to early...
But a lovely capture all the same, love the stream and the depth of the forest looks wonderful...

Do you mind explaining jusr a bit of your techniques as I have some I would like to improve on too
and maybe I can get some tips from you :iconheartballoonplz:

The Autumn never really took off this year so you didn't miss much at all. I won't go into too much depth with how process this particular image but the majority of my images are processed using a technique called 'exposure blending' its similar to HDR but you have much more control over the end result and he images will look much more natural. I will then adjust my images with contrast and saturation but always in keeping with what I saw at the time of capture.

There are loads of tutorials online with different techniques you can try out and find one that works best for you, that's how I learnt to do the majority of my processing.

Let me know how you get on :)

Guy
