Colour Landscape
Canal Bank Shrubbery...
Taken in Kilcock on the Royal Canal.
This shot was taken at 22.37 in the evening which is late for photography as it's usually profoundly dark, but there was just a hint of light from the last of twilight and a stray sodium street light falling on the scene.
This one took 25 seconds at f5 - 200 iso. The absence of any wind gave the camera a chance to absorb all the lovely colours along the canal bank. Over 25 seconds the slowly moving canal water adds a faint softness while the water reflects the cold blueness that is the hallmark of the day's end.
