A lesson learned.
I guess we all make mistakes, I would normally bin an image if I thought it was below standard and this one nearly went in the bin. The lesson is put all your settings back to the correct position before you leave for your chosen photography spot. When I got to this spot I dragged out of my bag the 16-35, when I last used it I had it on my tripod so switched off the stabalizer, I took a couple of shots with polarizer in place which looked fine on the LCD, I had walked a fair distance when I noticed I had not pushed that switch.
Having loaded that days shoot onto my computer I then could see how effective eight stops of camera and lens stabilization is and how you miss it when it is not there.
So here is the first shot the other has bitten the dust. Check everything.
This is Sandgate park near Storrington in Sussex, the little stream looked lovely with leaves floating in this one, the fairy bridge looked lovely over the stream too , the sky was a bland grey and light levels low. I made the best of this image it sure is not the best so a return visit will be made to make another go of it.
