    I got in and out in between rain showers. I’m a stealthy PhotoNinja? :)

    Really like this square format Luda. The first one’s
    a cracker, though it does need rotation to bring your
    horizon level. Aside from that, I’d happily hang it
    on my wall. Excellent…

    Two cracking shots there luda. First one needs a straigthen as Rob says, but I really like these two.

    Well done.

    I only noticed the horizon after I’d put it online.
    I frequently miss that. I’m going to buy one of those hotshoe spirit levels.

    Really like the 6×6 look and the post processing. I can see what you were trying to do with these. I think the composition is not 100% though.

    First shot i would straighten the horizon and pan the camera down more so that say the horizon is at the top 3rd line, and possibly a step or two to the right

    Second is nice and the nicer of the two i think, would of panned the camera up a bit, too much tree trunk (but the 1st with slightly better composition would be the clear winner)

    Really nice well done, sorry if you think im nit picking but i think if you can get the composition right with this 6×6 look, post processing and long exposure you will get cracking shots. Some very nice shots on your site

    Not at all, you’re right.
    Taking my time is top of my to-do list.
    I’m not even completely satisfied with the top of the jetty being almost ON the horizon, nevermind it being wonky. :S

    Stunning images… both of em… although I do agree with Martin about the compositions…. I really like your stile of processing and cropping. What are the exposures on these 2 images…? Are you using ND filters or just getting up really early…?

    Very Nice Luda – especially the top one. I think they’d look great printed and framed appropriately.

    I’m also intrested in finding out more about exposure details.

    Cheers.
    The first one was a 17 second exposure using an ND8 filter.
    The tree image was 52 seconds. It was only about 30 mins later but I had on a polariser aswell as the ND8. (Both 77mm screw-on filters on a Sigma 10-20mm lens)
    Both were shot about 4ish in late December light, so it was the fading light.

    I’ve just ordered an ND400 so I can use it for long exposures during normal overcast days and hopefully get 3 minute exposures.
    Once it arrives I’ll be clocking up the mileage all over the Ards Peninsula. Can’t wait.

    Nice ones both- lovely tones-
    and for me, another example of a picture where the horizon is up for grabs-
    I wouldn’t have a criticism of the angle in these ones-
    it suits the composition-

    I heard of another way to approach this subject Water) at a Les McLean Lecture,
    organized by Fintan and The Fizz before christmas-

    multiple exposures-
    25 pictures at 1/25 sec, if the meter indicates a second, for example-

    Haven’t tried it myself, but it looked convincing-

    Redskins thrashing the Cowboys… heading to the playoffs!

    Pic #1… clean, simple, effective, great conversion.
