Welcome back to the second part of my ‘How to use filters in landscape photography’ mini-tutorial.
In the first part we took a look at the graduated neutral density filter and how that was essential in being able to correctly expose an entire scene, bringing all the various light and dark areas back into the dynamic range of our camera’s sensor. If you’ve not read up on it then click the little link above (it’ll open in a new tab) and then come back here afterwards!

There’s one thing we can’t dictate though, and that’s the weather conditions you’ll experience when you turn up at your chosen location.

One Second at Chesterton Windmill – by Nick Tsiatinis
On a bit of a whim I decided to go out yesterday evening and visit a windmill I’d visited once before over in the small village of Chesterton, near Leamington Spa in order to indulge my passion for landscape photography. The weather wasn’t fantastic, but I wanted to get back over to the windmill and get a few photographs, and check it out for an upcoming project of mine…

Today is the grand opening of the Leicester People’s Photographic Gallery in the old lending library in Leicester City Centre (on Belvoir St opposite Fenwicks). It will be open from 3pm until 9pm and there will be a wide range of photographs from various local photographers on display.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a lady who had found my details on a Google search and needed a landscape photographer for a one-off commission of a tree in Peckleton, Leicester as a birthday present for a friend. She needed the photograph supplied as a mounted and framed print.
