United Kingdom The Campsie fells
This location is a small waterfall which features two large hills at either side of it, in this image I was looking to get some water flowing whilst the Sparks hit the surrounding rocks trees and water.
Photography Tips
I took a long exposure of this image from a tripod around 3 meters from the subject, Shooting at 18mm I used Iso 100 for low noise, I exposed for 2.8 seconds and the widest aperture I could on my canon 18-55mm which was F3.5, in future I'd probably shoot a bigger aperture to get better contrast, and increase the shutter speed slightly. All in all the image turned out okay and needed little re-working in Photoshop or Lightrrom. Always shoot in RAW.
