I appreciate that, thanks.
These two shots won’t be making it to print though (not that I’ve ever printed anything in the last year anyway), due to the horrible noise up close. The composition in the second one hasn’t entirely convinced me either, but I just tried to rescue something from a visit to the Forest Park.
I wonder if, once my ND400 filter arrives, would long exposures during daylight/cloud cover produce less noise than shooting as it gets darker…?
