Pictures from Somerset

Post by Joanna Carter » Wed Apr 26, 2006 11:28 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi folks

Just a few pictures from the weekend

Image

This shot was taken on Velvia 100, using a polariser, an 81D, a 2CC and a glass total UV block filter to help combat the phenomenal bright blue haze that was evident on the day.

The picture is not up to much creatively but I wanted to prove that the excessive blue tendency of Velvia 100 can be tamed with the right filtering.

Image

This second shot was taken in Selworthy village and is of the cottage used by the National Trust for their information centre.

When the weather looked like it was never going to clear, I took this shot just outside our bed and breakfast in Wambrook. It's interesting how heavy haze can force you to look for something close to photograph :)

Only 9 months late ... I blame the lack of a suitable scanner!

It was wonderful to meet so many like-minded, and helpful, people.

Just a thought...

Cleeve Abbey seems a great place for a mini-workshop, they also have a Tea Room!

What do you think?

Barry,

Cleeve Abbey was a nice place to photograph. I had several happy hours there. Must admit I never got around to checking out the tea room though, so cannot vouch for the cakes!

David,

I will leave the Tea Room grading to others with more experience. :D

BTW I think your image of Cleeve Abbey is superb.

Barry,

Thank you. I'm quite proud of that one. Others, of course, were not quite so successful...

David.
