A lovely set. I see what you mean about the busy background, but not too distracting IMO. What aperture were you using?

What a great opportunity! Some interesting 'off-beat' images in there.My favourites are the red colonnade walkway with the shadow patterns, the rake on the grass (!) and the last one; great choice of dof

I have bought from microglobe before - from the shop; they do exist!

Thanks Derek - yep the cpl is a useful little filter!

No 5 for me with the rusty fence and the tree dead centre. Also something majestic about no 9 for me - but all very pleasing!

Certainly worth the effort to use them (especially adding the ND grads to balance the sky with the foreground)Nicely shot Andy and glad to see the filters in use. I particularly like the first image

It's not an easy area to photograph, because it's so.... Boring! But not here.
An extra dimension to this would be to catch this when there is mist/ a cloud inversion filling the Bowl; haven't managed one of those yet!It's a soft delicate light that makes these.

The second one I would prefer to see with a darker clear blue sky. I don't think the aircraft contrails add to it I am afraid.
I agree about the contrails; I didn't look back to the tree often enough whilst i was in the area to see if the sky 'cleared' - I think I could have waited a very long time for that to happen though without other contrails entering the scene!The second one I would prefer to see with a darker clear blue sky. I don't think the aircraft contrails add to it I am afraid.

A reasonably local spot to me. A beautiful part of the South Downs. Thought I'd share a few from the other morning. C&C welcome!
1) Circ polariser and 2 stop ND grad IIRC
2) Circ polariser
3) Circ polariser - I really liked the subtle light playing on the tree contrasted with that on the hillside behind
4) A square crop of same tree as in 3
