Fernworthy Reservoir III Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another shot of Fernworthy Reservoir, Dartmoor, in Devon.

It was taken on a very hazy afternoon and the light was very harsh, hence the slightly burnt out water - which I wish had more definition.

It is a very picturesque place and very peaceful - all you can hear (apart from the birds) is the water rushing down from the dam on the other side of the reservoir.

Cropped a bit from the bottom, adjusted contrast to TRY and get some detail in the water. I also resisted the urge to sharpen too much, which I have been guilty of in some of my past posts!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Vicky,

Nice peaceful landscape. I really like the reflections. Too bad they are a little bit overexposed, but it's not really your fault. You can only blame the sun for it ;o)

Hi Vicky,
Very nice landscape, well framed and over all perfect reflections on water well captured. I like this strong light.
