I have MINOR as a contact too so I see his stuff coming through. I’d say John by looking at them a lot are taken at night. The water is so soft it has to be done with an extremely long exposure and I don’t think the single ND110 filter is the job. I could be wrong though.
You might also notice the extreme dodging and burning with the selective vignette. I think he uses gradients on some of these shots to frame his subject.
It’s certainly something to try to emulate though, if you’re into this sort of thing.Alan
This is really lovely John, just like everything about it, would
look great in print I think too :DThink you need a different title though… Artsy Fartsy suggests a
feeling of uncomfortable-ness I think.Sinead.
Cheers Sinead.
To be honest… I struggle with the ‘ol titles sometimes… this is all I could think of on an un-inspired gloomy Sunday morning. I didn’t want to make mention of the 110 filter in the title… and I didn’t want something as typical as ‘Misty Rocks’… so I ended up with the current junk title!
What about… “Not so Arty Farty Misty Rocks shot with the B+W 110 Filter at St. Helen’s Bay Co. Wexford”? :D
I love it. I think it would work brilliant as part of series of 3. I could really see some thing like that hanging on a wall in nice modern minimalistic (spelling??) house, coffee shop.
I just love it, love it I say, love it.And the horizon is spot-on too!!
Well done.
My God will I ever be able to do something like this?? It is fantastic. Absoulutely brilliant, can almost feel the mist. Great shot.
Thanks Brian and Genie.
Genie… there’s no real difficulty in doing this sort of shot, once you get up to speed on all the basics you start experimenting with other things and after a while you’ll get the knack of it. There’s no real secrets on this one other than a special filter to allow for longer exposures. There’s no actual mist here… just moving sea water that get’s ‘misted’ due to the long exposure.
