Ambleside

The Story

 

In the heart of Ambleside lies this wonderful stream which today was very high and full of water after the recent heavy rain. This photo was taken a little up stream of the previous one and shows the old, now redundant water wheel.

Ambleside is one of my favourite villages, always full of walkers and visitors, with a great selection of Real Ale at the Royal Oak and a great Chinese restaurant. Well worth a visit if you havent been already.

 

The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 10.5mm wideangle lens mounted on a tripod.

Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.

Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.

Saturation then boosted and contrast adjusted using curves.

The noise reduced with Noiseware .

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
