"A nicely laid out shot Neil, but very difficult to control exposure when you have highlights in foreground and background. The main subject is of course the landing stages with Derwent Isle and Catbells behind. Most cameras on auto would have achieved a similar result. As Rod suggests angling the camera down, or better still crouching down (that's why photographers have knees!!) would have given a better result for the piers etc, and give more foreground interest, but the sky would have blown out with no detail in the clouds. I agree with Rod again too regarding the use of a graduated filter over the sky to hold the exposure back, but these are not things that we all have in our pockets. Modern cameras have very sophisticated metering systems but still struggle when given such a wide contrast range. " - Dave John(24th March 2014)
