Here are a few more from the snowy golf course this afternoon

During this cold period everyone, being as Brittish as we are, has gone mad over the recent dusting of snow, so i though it would be an opportune moment for me to jump on the band wagon and get out to there and get some shots! However living in Weymouth means that we barely get any snow and it never hangs around, partly due to the warm temperature and partly due to the snow deprived kids having all out snow ball wars!

After heading to the lakes and seeing virtually no snow had settled there, i decided to visit  Weymouth Golf Club, hoping no determined golfers would be trying to persevere! Although this was the first time i have taken photos of snow, i was aware that i needed to be very conscious of correctly exposing my images.

I hope you enjoy the results 

Here is the second shot from the same spot of Radipole Lakes, this time using 4 shots to create a wide image. I like the simplicity the shot brings, along with the soft yet vivid browns.

Here are two shots, taken from the same spot at Radipole Lake. I was experimenting with two techniques, the first is long exposures using a ND8 Filter and the second is creating a small panorama.

This shot was the first time i used my ND8 Filter. For some reason these shots came out very grainy. I was shooting on an iso of 400, so wasn't expecting them to be particularly grainy, so i am unsure if the filter could cause it, as it was a cheap one from ebay.

Here is one more example of me creating a composite image, this time using 4 images. Again, not the best image when it comes to composition, but a good bit of practice i thought would be worth sharing :) enjoy

So here is another image i put together using three images, and stitching them together to create a wider image. It is not the best image when it comes to composition, however i am happy with the outcome. I have discovered how i can capture a wider shot with my 50mm which will be very helpful until i get myself a wider lens!

Ok so i haven't updated my blog in ages, my new years resolution is to be much more on top of my photography so here i am! I have spent the day experimenting with a few new (to me) digital techniques. One of which is layer stacking, to help create an even image when it comes to exposure AND focus. I have also playing around with merging images to create a sort of 'panorama'. 

So here is one i took this evening. This image is a composite of three images stitched together to create a much wider image than what is usually possible with my 50mm lens.
