A view from the top of Painswick Beacon
by Bobbinalorry
K20D,auto W/B.ISO200.1/250.f4.5
Lens 17-70 with ND grad and polerizer. on tripod.This shot is straight from camera,no post processing.
Please comment/advice.
Thank you.
I don't see anything in the subject that warrants an ND or PL. If you want to pick up more detail in the sky, give a grey grad a try. Then a tripod is worth using so you can get the alignment correct with the horizon.
I can see what you were after - bands of colour/texture moving up the frame. On this occasion, it's not quite worked out. But worth looking out for. The Cotswolds and the Wiltshire Downs offer lots of opportunities like this - often a case of luck being in the right place at the right time.
Hope this helps

Landscapes usually, in my experience, work best with a smaller aperature, a lower iso and a much slower shutter speed. At 1/250, you don't need a tripod - I'm comfortable hand held with SR on at 1/20 and can get away with it on my MZS with care. And as Technoblurb said, use AP. Depth of field tends to be more important in landsacape photography.

Somewhere at the back of my mind
I quite like landscapes but usually with mountains, I find rolling hills a bit hard to comment on so I apologise if my comments put a damper on your image, they are purely offered in a constructive manner.
