Location : captured right by the River Meon near Soberton in Hampshire, this area is now part of the new South Downs National Park

This image was captured about noon using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkIII camera and a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II lens. I used live view for manual focus and to set a whole lot of tilt and just a little shift, to capture such a large apparent depth of field. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, f/11, ISO 400 and daylight white balance, and the exposure was 1/500th of a second. The reason I used ISO400 was to give me a fast enough shutter for the gusty breeze we had that day. The RAW processing and the final adjustments were all done in Photoshop CS/6.
