ARCHIVE 375 – MIST LIFTING, HERONS GREEN

A pair of Tufted Ducks in Herons Green Bay, Chew Valley Lake, as the mist lifts.
The male (drake) Tufted Duck is on the left; his little tuft or crest can just be seen sticking out from the back of his head if you click onto this image to enlarge it.
I rarely use software presets with images if the presets take everything out of my control and just produce “a look”. But I like the look of this “look”, if I can put it like that 🙂 , and so here it is.

You intentionally overexposed at capture – as in, you were planning on doing something like this with it? Just wondering – in any case, it’s a nice look, and suits the subject.

I can’t remember now exactly why I overexposed it, Lynn – but over expose it I did >>> maybe I was trying to “expose to the right” (of the exposure levels chart) to get the maximum number of tones on the shot, the mist having so many delicate tones. A 🙂
