A Tranquil Scene

A Tranquil Scene - student project

This was taken at ISO 100, f8.0, and a 34-second shutter speed. I used a FujiFilm X-T2 with the XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS lens — the focal length was 81.9mm (125.3mm full frame equivalent) — a 10 stop ND filter, and a circular polarizing filter.

To get the shot, I had to pile bricks under each foot of my tripod and attach the centre column to get the height needed to see over a hedge hidden just beneath the frame. I'm not completely happy with the composition, but there wasn't any other position I could take it from, so it was this or nothing.
