Description

Golitha Falls, Cornwall

I must be on the 7th attempt to write a description for this picture. I haven't used my camera for landscapes for, well, months so I'd like to be able to say this is me renewing my love for photography but the love never went away in the first place. To give myself the kick I needed I bought an arsenal of lens filters and forced myself to get up yesterday morning, seeing that it was a dry (if not sunny) day. As I was getting ready to go my son asked if he could come with me. It made it a special morning for me because having the Quality Time with him, exploring together and getting a ream of new pictures was just the tonic I needed.

What you see here is the last photo from that morning. From my boy's point of view it was a good thing because he was starting to get cold. :facepalm:

But I hope you like the photo.

Technical-ish stuff:
Nikon D40 (yes, I still have it!)
Aperture Priority
4 second exposure
Hoya CPL and Cokin P.153 (2-stop ND) filters fitted
9:48am (approximately)
Edited for sharpness, colour balance and contrast in Paintshop Pro 10.

a fantastic image! i am so envious of those who are as successful as this with long exposure. i'm going to try it again once the weather warms up a bit. the clarity in the entire scene is just stunning; the earthly beauty and rich tones really bring the image to a whole other level. :rose:
