About the Image(s)
A few months ago I treated myself to a set of Nisi nd filters. After a couple of "unofficial" plays with them, this is the first outing where I put them to "official" use. This image was taken during a sunrise shoot from the western side of our harbour bridge, while the sun was rising on the eastern side (obviously). My aim was to flatten the water (for Sherry) and also to streak the clouds (for myself). Details are: Nikon D810; 24-120 lens at 24mm; ISO 64; F16; 45.2 seconds (thanks to a 10 stop nd) and tripod mounted. I'm very much looking forward to some more official outings with them.

A beautiful and visually interesting composition, the image is technically spot on and is very creative with the long exposure - I love how you bring the viewer into the frame and lead him or her to your COI - this is just an outstanding photo that I would hang on my wall - nice job Ian, truly a nice job on this, there's nothing I would even consider changing.

Ian, what a gorgeous image. I love those rocks leading into the Bridge but then I look at all the detail of the city in the background and the perfectly still water (likely do to the ND filter and long exposure it allowed). I agree with Butch.....I would be temped to hang on my wall!!! Posted: 12/17/2024 21:53:58
Thanks for your comments. My wife tells me it's time we put some new photos on our walls. This just might be the first new one to go up. Posted: 12/19/2024 10:50:09
