I used the 10-stop ND filter for this shot. Taken in broad daylight.

    i tihnk normally people whould be saying this is too bright, but with the progression of the darkness of the water, it works out awesomely. This is a breathtaking photo.

    I might be one of those people that thinks it is a little too bright, but with the well exposed background, it's not too bad. Nice work.

    This photo for some reason makes me feel warm and cozy, probably because it reminds me of the familiar east coast/New England culture that I grew up in.

    It has a bit of a magenta/orange cast to it, however, that I find a bit distracting. Or maybe nostalgic. :D

    clap.gif I love this shot. All it needs is a little work on the WB. It's a calendar shot IMO.

    Very nice shot. I think it is a tad to blown in the highlights but just barely.

    Gut reaction was BLOWN OUT.
    Taking a closer look though, it's a beautiful shot. I'd love to see the high res version.

    Good work Tomclap.gif

    Nice shot, although the water at the bottom is kinda bright, for how it was taken its really not to hard to over look it.. Id love to see this shot at 10 seconds exposure... good job out there in magenta Norwich..lol

    Take a look at the waterflow and move your head up and down. It looks like one of those 3D shots!

    Either that or my crazy youth is catching up w/ memwink.gif

    Good stuff...

    Good technical details, but i think the background is a little too distracting and bland for my tastes, although the warm tones in the image are pleasing to the eye.

    I can't imagine there's too many uses for a 10-stop ND filter, but you definitely found a good one! There's definitely a texture to the water that seems different even though I've seen (and taken) hundres of long exposure water photos.

    I really like the color and tone of the photo, and don't think it's too bright at all. It might be nice if the top part was either all buildings or all forest, but that's out of your control.

    Nicely done!

    Very nice. I am amazed that you could open up to f8 with a ND10 filter. The other day I tried a similar shot in Strasbourg but during overcast skies and with my ND8, I had to stop down to f22 which only gave me about 2seconds, and it wasn't too pleasant for my lens (it's happier near the middle).

    Same here. Being that people in the Western civilization look at a picture from left to right, it at first seem to blown out, but after a few more looks, I am starting to appreciate the brightness transition from right to left.
