Long exposures using the Ten Stop filter

IPClark

Again, inspired by the work of Tom Kaszuba, I was out and about recently and had the opportunity to use the ND-110 filter.

These two shots are at Whitley Bay, NE England.

I've gone for a surrealistic look on the first shot and then the second one cried out for B/W.

Stunning! The color version is my favorite of the two; however, either would look great hanging from the wall.

IPClark

Thank you Travis

If I had not seen the colour version I would of loved the B&W, but the colour version put so much detail in the sky it wins hands down, but they are both very nice shots

Thanks for the compliments. The colour one does indeed seem to offer more

Both are very nice. The sky detail in the color is outstanding.

Wow! I see Tom's influence in these beautiful images. Very nicely done. I have to be different, just cause I'm a trouble maker , but I like the b&w better. Both are magnificent though!

Definitely worthy of being hung on the wall for sure :ivar
Can't decide if I like one over the other, cause I like both.

Tom is indeed a great inspiration, you've done a great job with these.

Two very Beautiful Shots .... Skippy

That black and white is just beautiful. I'm trying to get some good gloom in my day to get some shots like that with my new Hoya ND400.

Thanks cjmchch.

Try with or without gloom. Would like to see the results.

They are both wonderful. I'd love to know the shot details. How long was your exposure?

Howdy Ian,

Beautifully done, I really like all the color and details in the first one, but like the "Moodiness" of the B&W.

I think Tom has inspired a lot of us with his beautiful long exposure work, you've done him proud with these two!!

Very nicely done!!!

IPClark

In post pro, I added 50% clarity in Lightroom. There wasn't any requirement to alter anything else. In CS3, I sharpened up the foreground and reduced some noise in the sky. Adjust saturation and exposure a little.

Similar work with the B/W version this time using the gradient map to achieve the tones I wanted in the foreground. Used a bit of burn on the sky to bring out a bit more detail in the clouds.
