Kennet and Avon canal, Newbury

Whenever you visit a new place it is always worth having a look around, deciding what would be nice to photograph, even if the weather is not too good.
So this evening I went for a walk by the Kennet and Avon canal in Newbury, Berkshire – my first visit to the town.
The warm evening light on the church tower caught my eye but everything else was in shadow, so I had to ensure I did not over expose the shot.
To reduce the contrast and bring up the shadow detail I have used a graduated fade in Adobe Photoshop.
Hopefully I will get chance to visit the same spot again a little earlier in the day.
Time 20:55 Shutter 1/125 Aperture F5.6
