Lovely little church Dee. I play bowls there as they are in our league but never got to see it properly
in winter time.
Probably better using partial metering with a backlit subject, also a larger aperture.
Cheers folks, good information for me re-shoot.
I went to such a low aperture of F22 to try and get the starburst affect from the sun. I think it worked out a bit, much better than what I was getting at F8 and the like.
The only downside as you mention was the slow shutter.
It was a great little place and well worth the stop. I have tried to PS in a new sky, but after about an hour or so I gave up and I would not make it look realistic through the holes in the trees. So any tips or demos welcome or feel free to have a play
