Rudyard overflow by roachling

Rudyard overflow

Went for a short stroll with an elderly friend who lives near Rudyard Lake. Neither of us have ever seen more than a trickle running over the overflow thingy before so it was an interesting sight and I loved the sound of the water gushing past.
Lovely capture! I've not seen this part of Rudyard before - must give it a visit. What a lovely place to live.

Drive past leek quite a bit. Great shot. It's great at derwent when the water overspills the dam walls and rushes down like that. No hosepipe bans soon : )

Great shot!

Can your camera open up to a longer exposure, say 1 second? (You perhaps need a tripod, or a place to rest your camera). Dropping the ISO manually down as far as you can get it might achieve this without doing anything else. You will get a lovely "wispy sheet of water" over the flow that you might find interesting.

I might have saturated the colors a little more, unless you wanted the muted tones for the effect.

I love the way you've captured the water's flow. I can almost hear it rushing over the spillway.

That's a lovely capture of the water, the trees frame your shot nicely.
