Leeds & Liverpool Canal. by gamelee

Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

At Adlington, near Chorley, Lancashire.
Love the composition, tones and reflections - great shot.. house on top of second bridge really adds to the subject! Excuse my ignorance... but is it HDR?? Have just downloaded another free demo - HDR thing - need to remember to take my tripod next time I am out...

@gillg - Yeah, HDR, three images combined to make the most of their lightest and darkest areas. If you have a reasonably steady hand a tripod isn't a necessity, this image was hand held.

Love the composition ,the colour & tones in the bridges and the reflections . As a novice I am not very familiar with terms & abbreviations in photography world ,let alone to be ale to do these -- at the moment I am only coming to terms with the simplest of edditing /processing of my photos but sure shall learn a lot through 365 Project at my own pace !!

@gillg

Gill, I've recently been playing with HDR and have been using Luminance HDR which is available online as a free download. I'm reasonably happy with the results - you might want to give it a try.
