All these shots were taken on my recent trip to Norfolk using Canon5D Mk2 and 24-70mm lens mounted on a tripod.
They were all shot in Aperture Priority mode at F11 with exposure bracketing, 3 shots at half stop increments.
For the second two I also used a Nuetral Density 8 filter, to ensure I had a correct exposure since the sun was burning through morning fog.
After putting the Raw files through Adobe CS5 to enhance colour and tone, I have added textures from my stock to the first two images, using the technique outlined in earlier blogs.
In order to achieve the painterly look I want for my finished portfolio, I have decided to add textures.
I find personally that a texture adds another dimension to my photography, I have to make artistic choices as to which type or colour of texture to use and judge whether this enhances or detracts from the finished image.
I find this additional input greatly rewarding and takes my images from a photographic representation of the subject to something resembling art.
