Le Barrage Déborde

f/4, ISO 100
‘I took up photography after being
given a camera for Christmas in 2017.
I am self taught, learning mostly
through trial and error as well as lots of
time outside just enjoying the hobby.
This was taken at Booth Wood
Reservoir in West Yorkshire – I noticed
it on a trip to visit family. I loved the
mesmerising wave patterns falling
down the dam in zigzags,’ says Diane.

sun disappears behind the horizon. As Stephen, a
musician from central Scotland, tells us, ‘It was a fine way
to spend an evening. I was on a family holiday, and was
having to be in “Dad mode” and watch my four-year-old
jumping off the slippery stones behind me! Focus stacked
and exposure blended because of the dynamic range,
plus heavy use of a lens cloth.’
