Aberystwyth coastal sunset

Taken tonight with the Lee 10-stopper on a Fuji X-E1 with the 18-55 zoom.

 

I accidentally left the OIS on, but it doesn't seem to have impact too badly on the sharpness. In fact-given the rough winds, it may even have helped!

Long exposure bridge

Wow - almost a month since my last post - many apologies.

I had a crazy week where I photographed three weddings around a holiday and then had four days to process all the shots before heading to France for over a week!

Anyway - I've not got a few shots to share and will start with this one:

I wanted to get a thin depth of field but also blur the water with a long exposure. To achieve this I stacked a Lee 'Big Stopper' with my friend Bob's Lee 6-stop Neutral Density to allow a 30 second exposure at f/2.

Below is a shot of me taking the shot, kindly provided by Bob! You can visit his website here: http://www.boblatham-photography.net/

Carew Castle

This was a series of three shots at 1 stop gaps blended in Photomatix. Each was taken with a Lee 10-stop filter to smooth the surface of the water.

Zeiss 21mm and the Lee Big Stopper to mist the water a little!

Bacton Groyne

30 second exposure using the Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 and a Lee Big-stopper. Processed in Silver Efex.

The long exposure 'calms' the sea and gives the clouds some movement.

Plymouth Hoe

Well - this is my first play with the Lee filter's 'Big Stopper' - I also added a hard grad to balance the sky. Ideally I could have done with a longer exposure to blur the water more, but I think the shot works.

Straight out of camera it was rather blue, so I used Nik's Colour Efex to keep the top blue while neutralising the bottom.
