Ok, so its not exactly an unknown location but I had not visited Aysgarth Falls since childhood! There are three series of falls on the River Ure as it passes the village I chose the Lower Falls as they are the easiest to access as a photographer.
I’m still learning how to get the best out of the Lee Big Stopper, I think here I’ve given the water a little too long and begun to lose too much definition.
Once the trees begin to get their autumn colour it should be a beautiful picture.
With an overcast and rainy week big sweeping landscape vista was out so I visited Scalber Force near Settle. Although very close to the road its a bit of a treacherous approach into a steep gully.
I had intended to take some shots with my big stopper but arrived quite late and due to the setting was able to get 15 second exposures without the need for a filter at all as it was really getting a bit dark.
With a bit of a tweak in Lightroom they have come out better than I expected, slightly too much green but that is mainly given the time if year, I think this will be a good autumn venue.
