Title: Outcrop
Post by: Kiwi Paul on June 15, 2016, 04:34:20 pm: This rocky outcrop at Collieston pier in NE Scotland made for an interesting photo.

How many votes for a B&W version? ;)

I agree.

I think the vertical composition over-emphasizes the sky and minimizes the sea ... I think a horizontally-composed shot would better-render the view (IMHO).

My thought exactly. And I would like at least to see a B&W version.

Thanks,

It was done with a 6 stop ND on a Voigtlander 12mm lens, I don't have a 10 stop ND to fit that lens.

Post by: Jeremy Roussak on June 24, 2016, 02:49:17 pm: Just seen this, for some reason. I think it works well, but you have quite a halo around the most distant bit of rockery which doesn't seem to have been present in the original.
