You need a ten stop filter for that first location Ant!

I got up for sunrise this morning, wasn't anything special unfortunately.

Taken at London Zoo today, taken wth a "Nifty Fifty" - may go back with a 100mm L F2.8 in a few weeks to see what I can get!

Quiet in here again.

One from my way home from work this afternoon. 3 minute exposure.
Not sure on the brick and pebbles on the bottom. Might crop it so it's just the lighthouse and sea/sky.

@Aaron.. I quite like it with the foreground tbh. I'd leave it like that, but the lighthouse with just sea and sky might look interesting as well.

took a few shots of the car yesterday

 

[CrippsCorner]

One of the best 200T's going... but I would consider spraying the front lip black.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Another from today. Tighter crop and corrected the lean on the lighthouse.

Both car and pics are stunning.

Really like this mate! What filters did you use?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Really like this mate! What filters did you use?

Cheers.
Just used a ten stop ND. 30 second exposure. It was a very dull day which helped, no tones to the sky either which is what I've been waiting for for a while at this location.

Not really relative to the photography topic. However, I don't normally like 200Ts, but that one looks fappin' brilliant!

 

[Ricardos]

Took these on the beach in Southend where I live

 

[Scrooge]

Nice shots those mate

Trying a few lenses this weekend ahead of a wedding i'm doing, should be fun!

One from this morning.

Sunrise at the Pier by Aaron, on Flickr

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I'm terrible with photoshop.
Took this on my way home from the pier shot. There was a mass of wind turbines on the horizon which I've got rid of, but there is a slight tone difference near the post which I can't seem to get right.
Working on a laptop isn't great for this type of work as sometimes it looks fine, other times looks awful. The screen is calibrated, just a bit funny at certain angles.

Anyone on a normal monitor? Does it look OK?


Outpost by Aaron, on Flickr

 

[CrippsCorner]

Do you mean around the middle of it? There is a very slight darkness/blurriness around it but I've have never noticed if I wasn't looking for it! Still looks great

Yup, thats where there was a large collection of wind turbines but the Photoshop content aware tool has changed since I last had to use it, for the worse imo.

I should have walked a few hundred yards to the next one really and tried to get an angle without any in shot but I was too lazy.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Some nice long exposures there @Phase1sr
Good shapes too which might look good cropped a bit tighter.

Hadn't noticed this about a filter! What's 10 stop filter? Lol

Cuts the light out, enabling ling exposure shots in the day time,its what you use to get cloud movement or to smooth the sea out like my lighthouse shot.

 

[SimpleJoee]

Got my hands on a Nifty Fifty 1.8 yesterday, trialed it this afternoon. Loving it so far!

 

[Matt_90]

Ain't been in here for ages, glad to see some people are still in here! I have been busy shooting plenty of weddings. I have also just bought myself a 197 to run around in.
I also spent the start of the year working in Asia and Qatar - http://www.matthewlawrencephotography.co.uk/journal/southeastasia-destinationwedddingphotographer
