About the Image(s)
This is the River Rothay as it exits Rydal Water in the Lake District, taken a couple of weeks ago during a cold period. Taken at 9:40am, we were walking past this spot to reach a different location on the lake, but looking over a wall, I noticed this view with the trees balanced either side of the river. The final image is not too different from the original, but there are about 30 Lightroom adjustments to get more detail in the sky and lighten the foreground, then a dozen Photoshop layers to enhance the saturation and soften the image.
Technical Details: Camera: Canon EOSR5, Lens: RF 24-105mm F4L at 27mm, F11, 1/80s, ISO400. Edited in Lightroom, then finished in Photoshop.
