Photography Tips
Opt for a decent lens and tripod. I’ve gone for low and high shots here.
I’ve used waders to move in closer for a more natural looking low shot.
Auto ISO. F8-10 max (depending on light). High sun light I go for f10. Medium I keep at f8.
Shutter speed I’ve opted for around 150-200 sec depending on weather conditions such as wind and boat speed.
Summer days are best. Look for story, romance, and calm weather etc. It’s a great spot in my opinion but it’s unfortunately rather busy at times with locals, vagrants and students. I did play around with my fog filters too but found they were useless. Set your tripod low.
