It has been an interesting experiment, but I've decided that blogging is not for me. I will continue to post pictures on Flickr (skye-steve) if you want to see what I'm up to. I've been exploring a bit of local woodland recently, so here's a shot from that session:

Scottish skies are often very dramatic and to make the most of them I often need to use graduated filters to balance the exposure. If you have more than one grad, it's best to switch to manual spot metering. The reading from the bracken is the one that will be used for the actual exposure. A reading is then taken from the brightest bit of sky and if this is 3 stops (3 EV) brighter than the bracken then a 2 or 3 stop grad will be used, depending on how much drama is required in the sky.
