like time of day
where is the sun shining
what do I like about the image & why do I like the image
lines into the image
foreground
why do we use grads and ND but more important how to use them
Like I thought a grad was just to bring out the detail in the clouds/sky but no
you use a grad to balance the bright areas out by seeing the exposure difference between sky and foreground then compensate the difference in exposure. so if the sky is four stops brighter the a four stop grad is required ( meter for the foreground and then meter for the sky.
I've been just guessing before now but not any more

Yeah, the ND grad balances the bright sky with the darker foreground so you're right, it retains detail in the sky by darkening it down so you don't then have a blown out sky

Wishing you good light.
Yes it's all about light in the end.
I've got The Photographer's Ephemeris and some other sun apps the only think is they will not work with out internet or phone signal so it's map and the sun location drawn on a map with compass.
I am right in thinking waterfalls are best recorded and high sun so there is less reflections on the water (cp lee filter is on it's way) should be here at the weekend amazon prime don't you just love it.

I'm planning a weekend in the Lake's next weekend.
I have my camera bag packed and warm/waterproof cloths packed and wellies bought ., apps loaded on to my phone also map and compass bought but I'm a bit confused as where to stand(or should I say what direction to point my camera in) to make the most of a sunrise.
I'm staying in Keswick and should arrive around 3.00 pm on Friday and leaving on Monday about midday.
I'm thinking of driving to the north-west side of Keswick or even Bleaberry feil and point camera towards thirlmere in a south eastly direction
