all shot on a couple of 5 minute drives from home, most at our local SSI Nature Reserve, the rest at the next village to where we live, Ruscombe

Hi Maria, in full manual you should be able to set exactly what you want i.e. narrow aperture , slow shutter, with nothing changing but depending on what you are trying to achieve with the slow shutter speed you may also need to attach an ND filter to the lens to get the speed slow enough

thanks Louise, did not know they had names, we were walking the dogs in the nature reserve next door. the church interior was done on a tripod in full manual mode to control aperure and shutter plus the camera timer to fire it. i spot metered on the highlights and the resulting RAW file had enough shadow detail for me to lift in post processing

thanks Nigel, the Church and Cemetery have to be seen for real no photograph can really do it justice. it is more a public garden with tropical plants and people have been buried there , all on the side of quite a steep hill

would like to have got down in front of the lighthouse but the tide was in, the setting for the Church and Cemetery at St Just is beautiful.

the only thing i think is we normally read right to left so a horizontal switch seems to make the offending bit not so obtrusive as your eye is led across the scene to the brighter area. see what you think, hope you don't mind

cannot get it to open in CS5, says not compatible with ACR version, i think i would have done a 5 shot bracket then processed them with photomatix . tried to load it into that as it will process single images but the whole thing goes purple
