About the Image(s)
Following on from last months image a similar one but without water and hopefully giving you an idea of the beautiful rural area I now find myself,last months image showed one of the 2 routes I have into Lymm village this is the other a section of the Pennine trail which runs parallel with the canal and is 5 minutes stroll from my front door, we have a themed club competition coming up in the New Year called a splash of red so I had been hoping to catch someone walking along the trail wearing an article of red clothing and on my fourth attempt I got lucky I left it until this time of year as I wanted to catch the trees at their Autumnal best,I promise this is the last one I have and it will be a different subject in January.
How I did it
Canon EOS 5D Mk III lens Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM f6.3,1/250s, ISO 640 focal length 105mm Raw file adjusted in photoshop,added an Orton effect using several masked layers,cropped all round and opened up the shadows slightly, a 2 stroke border added.

I did do a little cropping from the right side to bring the disappearing point to the 1/3 point vertically in the middle horizontally. I also added a bit of a bin yet to keep the eye focused down the path. Keep sending more shots like this! Happy holidays to you and your family.   Posted: 12/10/2025 22:07:41
