Upper lake, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, Ireland
Black & White study of the Upper Lake, Glendalough 8 May 2026. 50 second exposure to flatten the lake waters. Clear day but clouds were building up over the lake.
Post processing notes:
Slight crop. Used Black & White filter to convert with tweaks to Colour response, Brilliance AI used, with some adjustments to contrast and shadows to open up. No Noise AI used. Some dodging and burning done to lighten reflections on the lake waters. Finally a film grain (Kodak T max 3200 ) was applied to give the shot a 'film' feel.Exif information:
