Autumn is in the air at Aysgarth

I visited Aysgarth falls during the summer when I went away for a weekend to Masham for my 10th wedding anniversary with my wife Kate. (Yes, Kate Middleton!) The Upper Falls really do lend themselves to a good photograph, but on the day we went there the sunlight was very bright. In order to take a nice smooth water flowing shot, to get the sense of movement I wanted a shutter speed of about 1/4 second and even at f22 it was just not possible to get a good exposure with that massive amount of light (I don't yet own a polarising filter or a ND filter, mental note for Christmas). So I revisited the falls in Autumn when the light levels were much lower and the trees were turning red. Managed to get a fairly good shot, the sky was kind on that day, giving me some clouds to work with.
