Today (after waking up feeling really groggy) I decided to stick my batts on charge and go upto a medium sized remote area which I stumbled accross when walking home the other day. I went back out there all prep'd for the battle of possble wetness (I wore my football boots there, thank god coz I slipped 3 times and sunk once) At first I tried to get a 360 Degree panoramic shot (which I havent processed yet but feel it might be a bit toss)
I took most the gear out with me but the main uses came from the 17 - 40 L and the trusty 58mm Hoya R72 ( I havent been using this much due to what I like to blame my town but thought it was about time I started making something of it as the sun was out)
Enough small talk, Here are the results.
Quite a wide angled shot with the main attraction as the multipue arched rail bridge. 17 - 40 L
This was just a swamp area at the top where the rail bridges meet the land. I noticed this while walking back down into the main area of intrest. I shot this based on the gate. Although the gate wasnt the main attraction of the shot, When composed I noticed a good perspective on the water from the back ground trees.17 - 40 L
I shot this from the other side of the brigde walking outwards back into town. The entire framed shot doesnt work at all due to the lack of exposure on the farm stuff in the forgound. So I cropped this into something more pleasing.17 - 40 L
This shot was taken right under one of the arches of that rail bridge. I had to scale a small wall covered in electric fencing and brand new barbed wire. Then I waited for the exposure to finish (which felt like a lifetime when your worried part of the bridge might come down and sqish you! 17 - 40 L
As I got to the area there was a small footbrigde to get over the stream. I was actually stood under half a foot of the stream to photograph this. I wanted to be further round but these long exposures in cold water were abit much (footie boots 90% soaked)17 - 40 L
