Taken at Low Millerground on the footpath from Hayrigg Road to Bowness, down to the shore of Windermere. Tried a few shots with a few seconds exposure. This was possible due to the relatively dark shade within the wooded surroundings.

I tried to get longer exposures to try and get a more smoky feel to the water, but they tended to be blown out. I guess to get a longer shot, I need to invest in some ND filters?

I would appreciate critique / comment and any ideas for improvements as I'm always wanting to learn. Self taught so far.

Lovely composition, an ND filter, tripod and cable release would have cracked it.

Your composition is very good. A longer shutter speed would have given you silkier water if that's what you were after - but I like it as it is.

As said a good composition.
Did you use a tripod or at least a bean bag?

If I dont have a cable release with me then i put it on the timer.

Thanks for the comments Sue. I did have a tripod thankfully for this shot and I now have a cable release for future similar shots.
