With the 18-55 lens F5.6 produces the best results so that's my default aperture. I use whatever metering seems appropriate - it's very easy to switch on the 450D. I didn't use a graduated ND filter on this shot as the land was quite bright but I Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-645087049307098362009-06-01T08:58:23.506+01:002009-06-01T08:58:23.506+01:00Wonderful image, amazing DofF for 5.6, I guess the...Wonderful image, amazing DofF for 5.6, I guess the wide angle does that naturally for you.<br />I notice you used spot metering, is that usual for you?

Camped at the Sheiling of Saughs and then followed the new road along the Water of Saughs and saw three bits of plant that would have looked more at home on the M1 - all to get the grouse men around the place more quickly I presume? Saw similar and fences on Mount Battock a few days later. I hope time will soften these scars but the size and lack of subtletyAndy Dawkinsnoreply@blogger.com
