Superb work – you certainly made the most of the atmospheric conditions!

I’m left wishing there was more foreground interest …. a fence/gate/something in the forground to add a little depth to the composition and break up the large expanse of frosted grass but there wasn’t – nothing you could have done to improve that!

Lovely work … I particularly like the mood and motion on the water in no 1

Filtration or photoshop???

I Like it!!

I like the graininess and gritiness of it – brings across the bleak nature of the location very well. And I like the strong lighting on the lighthouse (though perhaps it is a little too strong??) and the texture of the rocks in the foreground

I find the composition simple but effective.

:D

A cracker!!

Did it require much Post Production or were you using filters when shooting?

Hi Everyone … my first post! Great website – really glad that I accidentally came across it while searching for something elso on google!

Regarding the coment from VWphoto’ …. sorry but that’s nonsense! The 7D IS a professional quality camera (as eluded to by the single digit “7” in the title … all canon pro bodies are single digit coded). In fact, in terms of sealing against dust and moisture, the 7D is actually superior to the 5Dii and has more in comon with the 1D Mkiv.

As a 7D owner I can say that the build quality is very high – certainly as good as a 5D Mkii though nor on a par with the 1Div – but then it doesn’t have the price tag of a 1D either!! The image quality is superb but not on a par with the 5D Mkii which delivers a truly exceptionally sharp image.

I shoot mostly landscapes and could not afford a 5Dii so went for the 7D instead – based on many positive reviews from the media and 7D owners … and I have not been disappointed with the quality of image from this camera (using the Canon 15-85mm Ef-S IS USM) at all. As I do not shoot excusively landscapes, the extra length does come in useful on telephoto shoots. Add to this the extra bells and whistles on the 7D but missing from the 5Dii (some of which I use, some of which I don’t) and you have a very capable and well built pro-level APS-C Body
