Default Looking for Fairies

Been out with some guys / girls from my camera club today and got some interesting shots. It was the first time for me going out like that in a group and photographing areas I have been to millions of times before. But seeing other people doing their thing was totally interesting and I learned a lot. Cost me £135 in the end as I have fallen in love with a tripod one of the guys was using and just HAD to have one of those lol. So as soon as I come home I went shopping online lol. Well here is my fave shot of today. Hope you enjoy xx

I like your picture a lot, very nicely captured, and it definately has a surreal feel and quality about it using the longer exposure, excellent work.
What location is it Char, it looks like a great place for a visit

Thank you for the kind comments. Its a location not far from where I live.... Bersham. Its a woodland walk with a couple of historic buildings and stuff. Very nice and tranquil walk, especially first thing in the morning. But today it was really full and busy as its bank holiday monday and nice weather and half term and kids everywhere lol. xx

Nice use of the long shutter speed, and I am sure you will find the tripod was money well spent.

Beautiful shot. I love the silky smooth look of the water alling over the rocks. Nice green colors. I know you'll be glad you bought the tripod.

Looks just like a place where Fairies would live. You've done a wonderful job on this.
I too have learned that a Tripod is your best friend when we do this type of shooting.
Thanks for Sharing this
Chewys Dad.
