I was out last night on a glorious Yorkshire evening doing a bit of landscape photography. I headed for a field near Woolley, a little village not too far away and spotted this fantastic footpath cutting straight through a field of golden wheat. I had a few hiccups on this outing, my new polariser doesn’t have a front thread so I couldn’t attach my graduated filters, a serious no no for the shot I had planned so I kept my new CPL in the bag. I set up and was pretty happy with my original test shot in terms of composition so I tweaked it a little and put my grads on and it was just a case of waiting for the sun to light up the field. I had envisioned a moody black and white version using a slow shutter to get the sweeping clouds and a little movement in the wheat. However when I got them back I was happy with the standard colour version but I have decided to post both versions and you can make your mind up as to which you prefer. In terms of exposure, the colour version was taken at 16mm, f/16, ISO100, 1/13. I had a hard edged 3 stop ND grad to balance the bright sky and the land.

We did the three peaks walk in the Yorkshire dales at the weekend, which is a 26 mile all day walking affair over 3 of the peaks in the dales, (Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough) and had some of the best landscapes Yorkshire has to offer. I had seen a similar photography idea that I wanted to try during the walk, it basically involved taking a photo every minute or so for about 12 hours, it got quite tedious after about 15 minutes, especially going up the hills and finding 3 feet of frozen snow on the tops but it was worth it in the end and the weather was pretty stunning too.
I also managed to get a couple of usable landscape photographs at some points that I have used at the start of the video to set the scene, I’ll put these up in a post soon.
It was a pretty clear this evening so I got out to snap some trees, there were a few whispy clouds to make the sky interesting which was a bonus. This clump of trees are in a …
