Damflask again

Beautiful sunny day with a good breeze so perfect for going to Damflask again to take pictures of the boat club. Different viewpoint this time so I could get a better angle on the sailors as they went round their course.

This was processed in Lightroom 3 using the built-in Adobe Lens Correction filter for the 70-300mm Nikon F4.5-5.6G lens and the Adobe profile for the D300. These two simple settings made the image much sharper I think.

Damflask Reservoir

Another of my favourite spots is Damflask Reservoir at the edge of Sheffield. There is a boat club based here and most weekends during the summer you can walk around the reservoir down to Lower Bradfield and back and watch the sailing club. This provides plenty of opportunities to take photos and one of the aspects I like here is the shape of the sails and the symmetry of the shapes as the boats move together in the wind.
