It had been a very soggy October for us, and this day was looking to be no exception. I was keen to see the autumn colour this year, though. Having booked my parking space (a new rule this year) and with normal, rather than torrential, rain predicted, I grabbed my camera and headed out.
Thanks to the rain and my having arrived shortly after opening, it was nice and quiet – despite it being the tail end of half-term school holidays.
Due to the cloud cover, my trusty olde Nikon struggled a bit with the low light. I upped the ISO a little and dialled in negative exposure compensation. As a consequence I got some moody, if a bit grainy, shots. I aimed for mostly detail shots with the Nikon and shot some iPhone ones as backup (I definitely prefer the clarity of those).
The rain wasn’t so bad in the end, just a couple of very light showers and a teeny bit of drizzle – so a pleasant walk was had. Of course I finished up with a coffee in the lovely café!
First two images shot on iPhone 12, all others on Nikon D90 with 28-300mm Tamron lens. Processed in Lightroom Classic. Thanks for reading!
