Sharp hill wood

Two very similar pictures, I'm not sure which I like the most. Probably the second as I think the extra sky benefits the picture. The subject itself is soon to be 1200 houses if the Council get their way.

I quite like the hazy look, nice shots. What lens did you use for those?

The lens used was just the 300d kit lens AKA the 18-55. A lot of people slate it (and rightly so) but stopped down to around F/8 (f/11 in this case) its gives okay results.

lovely sky colour, really like them. where abouts are you from xolotl, that wood is about 10 mins from my house!!

was a protest there the other week!

Without saying too much as this is a public forum its less than a 5 minute walk from my house. Edwalton to be precise.

As for the haziness issue mentioned earlier it may be down the the raw processing. 'twas my first time using raw :0 so I still need to get the hang of processing it.

Thanks for the comments.

I like ranarama edits. Makes it a lot better and I'll have ago at trying to do that my self. Layers is one thing I haven't got the hang of in PS.

As for Colin_da_Killer's edited version I'm not a fan of it. The dream like effect is done well but I'm personally not a fan of it.
