Its half term in school and I have a week off work so I have been decorating since the weekend and as the sun was shining late this afternoon I took a break and went out for a stroll with my camera.The Autumn colours are great but I decided to take a 3 shot bracketed shot of the Lake just to see if I could show the full range as I saw it.
I don’t think it looks too over cooked, comments appreciated……..

A self portrait shot with my Lubitel 166 medium format using kodak Portra 400.
I realised that landscape photography was not this cameras strong point as most of the photographs were very soft indeed.
It may have been my fault as I shot them on infinity stopped down to f11 to f22 thinking that would give me the best results but obviously not, unless the camera has a fault.
All the closer shots were far sharper and contrasty, well you live and learn and I really like using the camera so I will pick my subject matter a little more carefully next time.
I have loaded some Fuji Neopan 400 next so lets see what that brings…….
First home game of the season and was an extremely wet one.
A very close fought match with just 2 penalties apiece but I did manage to capture some good action shots.

Went out for a little walk tonight after the rain with the hopes of catching the last rays of sun before it disappeared behind the mountain.
I didn’t want to take out the tripod so I bracketed 3 exposures in camera and shot on continuous high and hoped for the best.

Taken a little further down the cycle track near Pontyrhyl new stone walls erected with what looks like railway tracks(not 100% certain) with embossed writing referring to the Garw valley ( I am going to find out the actual story about this monument).

A shot from tonight’s match. We don’t have floodlights up here in Pontycymer so this was shot at 5000 iso at f2.8 on a Nikon D7000.
With a little bit of noise reduction it holds up pretty well.
