Winter

The foreground is a little bit dark, and I am guessing that there is frost there,
which would have been nice to see, there are also a lot of little white dots in the
tree, are these lights? I like the glimpse of the scenery beyond the dark foreground,
so maybe just cropping a little off the bottom and the left side would improve it.Yes there was frost but didn’t seem to manage to get a nice shot of it. Here is a brighter version I think the sky is over bright though. Not sure how to get the balance.
The dots in the trees are water droplets
There’s a really nice feel to the second version. I expect some of the Photoshop gurus
will be able to help you arrive at a very good “in-between” version.The second one is an improvement alright, I’d like to see it in black and white, then that bright sky would be less of distraction.
The droplets on the tree look like Christmas lights :)Here is the B&W version.
Any ideas how would I reduce the sky being too bright without the foreground getting too dark when shooting. I intend going back here in late evening or early morning.
ThanksYou could use a graduated filter which would help or you could use
a tripod and take a couple of shots with differing exposures then combine
them………but I am not sure how you do this lol!Button, the easiest way to balance the sky and foreground exposure without post processing is a graduated filter as shutterbug said, I got some on ebay from surreyphotography quick and cheap and find them great.
You could also take two exposures and merge them in photosop by using layers, the graduated filter option is easiest but i sometimes still do the Photoshop method.
