Teatime Light

[Black Pearl]

I'm not adverse to pushing and pulling sliders or using a digital filter or three to get an image I want but sometimes when the light is nice and you're presented with a simple scene all a file needs is a quick tweak.



Fuji X-T1 + XF35mm 1.4R
200iso - 1/450s - f8

Lovely light Robin, well captured. It may also work with a slightly tighter crop.

Where is this, out of interest?

Might try a different crop thanks, this is how I took it as I had the Fuji switched to 16:9 and I haven't altered much.

Its the old mill on top of Cleadon Hills near South Shields, its fifteen minutes walk via a farm and a few fields from mine so a regular haunt when out with the dog. The light was nice so I took a gamble at teatime as the Dark Sky app on my Watch said it might rain but it stayed dry until I was nearly back home.

Nice shot.

The sky appeals to me. If it were mine, I would crop about half the foreground out to focus attention on the sky.

[Mike Buckley]

Perfection. Wonderful light and composition.

I like your approach to this scene...the clouds is beautiful but where is that light coming from? Just curious...a question I always ask myself when looking at a scene done by others. Processing is very good and the separation of the structure from the background is excellent. Very nice and well done.

The clouds behind were naturally dark due to a rain heading my way - their structure and brightness has been enhanced but not dramatically. The light hitting the mill and the field is from a break in the thinner cloud behind me - I added a vignette to centralise it and give it a little more focus.

I would not have known you added a vignette, which makes it the perfect kind of vignette for my taste. Adding a subtle vignette is like adding a subtle spice to a dish of food; you don't notice that it has been added but you would surely notice if it had not been added.
