Middle Hill Common

Post by gardenersassistant »

Middle Hill Common is a small (1.5 hectares, 4 acre) nature reserve one mile from our house. I have only visited it three times before because I didn't find much to photograph there. I visited it again yesterday, the first time in four years. I had more success this time. Here are some images from the session. (The rest are in this album at Flickr.)

I used a Sony A7sii with a Laowa 100mm macro lens with Kenko 2X and 1.4X teleconverters and a Yongnuo YN24EX twin flash. All the captures used f/40 set on the camera/lens, so the effective apertures would be in the range of around f/50 to f/120 depending on magnification.

The raw files were processed using presets in DXO PhotoLab, Adobe Lightroom and Topaz DeNoise AI, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom.
