Yeah I go here a lot I know…. I’m finished with it now… honestly… never going back….. :?

Heres a final few from last Saturday morning… the first being one of my favorite photos for quite some time. Also tested the Lee Big Stopper… Such a joy to use compared to the B&W 10 stop.. Anyway enjoy….

Excellent stuff 8)
Love the movement in the first..
The rock in the third is really interesting and a great colour 8)
The composition in both is spot on!!

The second shot is lacking something…maybe a better sky would`ve helped??

Agree that first and third stand out a bit more. Very nicely done! :)

Thanks people…! I agree the 1st is by far my fav… I have others very similar too in landscape and portrait orientation. Not sure why I threw that second one up. It looks really good on a big 27inch screen and in print but doesn’t look much when small.

Thanks again for the comments

I like the 3 shots, I think the first is the strongest of them, though I think the third looks very atmospheric along the pier, especially with the top of the steps showing. I think the water running off the rocks in the second one is the strongest part of it, or at least looks the strongest part of it on my screen anyway.

3 lovely shots! the 1st definitely being my favourite , very dramatic with the sense of movement in the water . im new to photography but dying to get hold of the big stopper!!! one thing i would say is , there is a definite blue/cold tint showing up with the filter .i presume that could be warmed up easily enough. great pics though!

Thanks for the comments.On the big stopper there is definitely a bit of a cold tint from it but its nothing that cant be removed in processing. Its better than the B+W warm tint that could be a bit of a pain to remove…! The blue tone in these is intentional and was chosen during the raw processing. I pretty much always shoot with a daylight white balance when shooting landscape or else choose a kelvin value pretty close to that during processing..!!

Agree 100%. No. 1 is the winner for me, followed in very close 2nd place no. 3. Gorgeous shots.

Yes, these are all very powerful. Interested to understand what you mean regarding the B&W 10 compared to the Lee …

Thanks people…. BM…. I found with the B+W that there was always an odd warm cast that was quiet tricky to remove in processing. Also because it was screw in it was a nightmare to use with graduated ND’s. I used it maybe 3 times and decide it wasnt for me. Then there was the 1 year wait on the big stopper…! Now I’m sorta gone off the reeeaaaalllllyyyyy long exposed wooly water shots. Hahaha

Thanks

well done on 2 great images and 1 good one :) the foreground in the second lets it down in my opinion. But you can tell me where to put my opinion :). Well Done Richie !

Thanks Sirvad.. I have to say I completely agree with you on the second… maybe a letterbox style crop would suit it…!

Thanks again
