Grad filter - is it cheating?
- 181 visits

Back in the days of printing from film, it was common for a photographer to distribute the light unevenly, to accentuate detail on one part of a picture or another, or to enhance the exposure in darker areas.

Ride this way

It is still possible to cycle through large parts of rural Ireland and see almost no traffic. This is on the Sustrans cycle route above Killyleagh in County Down. Obviously horse lovers value the peace of the place too.
