Location

This was taken on a morning trip to Wyming Brook in the Yorkshire Peak District.

Time

It was taken at around 09:15am in November 2018. It was a very dismal, damp and heavily clouded morning. I went with my son and we set off early as we live about an hour away.

Lighting

Because it is surrounded by trees, the light levels were low. In woodland this helps to make the colours more saturated. It was also Autumn (Fall) so lots of fallen leaves.

Equipment

Camera used- Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II with Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm F4 IS PRO lens. Using a Velbon Sherpa Pro Carbon Fibre CF-635 tripod with a Manfrotto 410 Geared Head. I also fitted a NiSi 10 stop ND Filter. Canon RS60-E3 remote release. Manual exposure, 3.2 secs F 7.1 ISO 64. Focus length17mm (34mm @35mm conversion). Aspect Ratio 1:1 Not forgetting the Muck Boots wellingtons.

Inspiration

The flowing water and the meandering stream coupled with the superb colours of the grass and autumn leaves made this a excellent composition. The blurring of the water due to the ND filter and the detailed interest from front to back.

Editing

Because the JPGs straight from the Olympus cameras are so good this make post-processing not really necessary. It’s much better to get the photograph right first time in camera, and Olympus cameras are great for assisting with this, rather than having to do lots of manipulating in post- processing. What you see is what you get.

Feedback

Go to the location early especially if it’s popular. In woodland the weather doesn’t really matter providing it’s not raining. Be prepared for adverse weather. Don’t forget the wellingtons and water proof clothing. Take care. Look for the best compositions. Take your time. I have put the exposure settings in the section above as a guide. To still the water, you will need a very slow exposure like 3 seconds so it’s easy with a 10 stop ND filter (NiSi, Lee or Kase are the best, cheaper ones should be avoided). A tripod and cable release is needed although one could use the camera’s timer.
