Thanks LennyBloke.
Edit away as you wish. I can email you the original if you want!

I used to use PhotoFiltre but am weaning myself onto Affinity

I like the 2nd shot too!
This is a normal shot



This is the HDR shot



They HDR ones have an element of looking like a painted picture. Need to get out more and experiment.
You folks here advised me to buy that lens - so I need to make good use of it

Been out with Pentax K-S2 and 16-85mm Pentax lens experimenting with HDR mode. Mainly used the 16mm wide angle end of the lens.

The Bluebells in the ancient British woodland are on Beverley Westwood. Twas interesting trying to capture the scale of the bluebells and the ancient, mighty, tangled oaks.

Also tried a close up of the candles on a Horse Chestnut.

if not sold soon, then it'll go back into the odds and sods drawer!

Well the best heron photo that we could get there today (Sigma 50-500mm on the K-S2) was what I think was a junevile heron, judging by the markings AND the fact that the daft thing was standing ON the island and expecting to succesfully grab a fish. It did try though!




Did get a nice one of the Little Grebe feeding a young un tho BUT that was with the Nikon P950 bridge camera (as it was so far away)




Thanks for the info. Well worth a visit on a nice afternoon. You didnt warn me about the ice cream, twas very, very nice tho

shutter count, age etc pls? Thx

Im visiting there this coming week.
Hope I can find time to go and look see.

Did you book an appointment with the heron????
