This is the view from Carl Wark looking toward Higger Tor. Unbelievably, it’s the first year that I’ve ventured onto Carl Wark and I love it. It has huge potential and should suit the frosty weather.
I shot the image, obviously at sunset, using a Fuji X-T3 and my Fuji 16-80 lens (you can read my review of the 16-80 lens on my website). I had the camera mounted on a tripod with an exposure of 1/15” at ISO160 and f/14.0. I also had a 3-stop Kase Reverse ND grad filter on the sky.
But what’s surprising is that this photo was part of a 5 stop multiple exposure. It hasn’t been exposure blended and its from a single RAW file. In fact, it’s the one from the RAW file that’s 2 stops underexposed. I’m quite amazed at how well you can recover lost detail from underexposed RAW files on modern cameras. This wasn’t the case until a few years ago when you would find the shadows filled with noise. Now they seem clean unless you push things to an extreme.
I achieved most of the “miracle work” for this image with Capture One.

You will also find Capture One covered in my latest YouTube video where I look at colour manipulation on a similar landscape photo. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/4i4locfIgNg
I hope you like the video, image and have a great weekend.

Excellent photograph.
Thank you
Hi, Robin,
Could you please tell us what you use to push the shutter? Old-fashioned finger, cord, cell phone….?
Beautiful picture, as usual, of course.

Hi Barbara. I used a mechanical cable release. The Fuji cameras have a threaded release button you can screw the cable into – just like an old fashioned film camera. It’s a great idea.
Hi Robin,
Lovely shot great colours.
Thank you
