Lake District Autumn 2008

The Story

 

At this time of year the autumn colours are visible throughout the Lake District, with leaves turning into the most amazing bronze tones.

This shot was taken looking towards Ambleside from the car park of The Low Wood Hotel on the shore of Lake Windermere.

 

The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from my D200 with a Nikon 70-200mm handheld.

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 the shadow added around the image.
