Geez, why did I wait so friggin’ long to pick up a circular polarizer? Coupled with a graduated ND filter, scenic shots with skies included are infinitely easier to expose correctly (or more correctly at least).
I met up with Dave Parrish from the RPMG this morning for a walk around Pump House Park. After we went our separate ways I rode around Byrd Park and stopped to shoot The Carillon. I’m excited to go back next year when the dogwood trees are blooming.
Meanwhile, here are a couple shots that aren’t quite right for the portfolio, but not too bad either.
The area around the Pump House is pretty cool… lots of rock formations that will be really fun to photograph when some of the greenery dies back. I’ll definitely be heading back in the fall and winter.
