So, as well as posting the first pictures here I posted them on the mu-4/3 forum where I very quickly got some excellent advice on what to do to improve the pictures. So as the location is only 11 minutes down the road Fired up with reckless enthusiasm I headed back.
Now reckless enthusiasm is NOT a good thing because I forget everything I know. Good stuff like use the self timer to release the shutter. I blew the first half a dozen shots like that they were shaky.
I'm also looking at some of these close up and I'm thinking that perhaps I should have manually focussed as well rather than rely on auto. In the fading light I was getting exposure times of 1.5 seconds which has given me more of what I was looking for. I'm definitely really pleased with the way these have gone. I look forward to going back to Elk Lake again and honing my abilities
