oh I missed this one.

Very nice what time of the morning was this taken, I love the tones.

Thanks folks...

This was taken down on the rocks close enough to the 40-foot bathing area in Sandycove in South Dublin. It was taken at approx midday and was a 119 second exposure at f8 and 17mm on a Canon 17-40mm F4 on a Canon 50D. I used a welder's mask glass as an ND filter (snaps to Longshanks for the idea), held on to the camera with two elastic bands. I think I was there for an hour or so and took 4 shots (a lot of clambering around on wet rocks), three of which I was happy with. The other two are here and here. I think the processing was down to a mixture on presets and manual settings in Lightroom.

I also must thank stcstc for suggesting I go down to that area - I was leaving his office and was on my way to Howth when he suggested the 40-foot.

I must say that I am absolutely delighted to get PotW, probably a lot more delighted than I ought to be

Super. I missed them 1st time around too. I particularly like the "road" shot too. Well done!

Class shot alright...I was on the verge of buying a filter set and this pushed me over the edge, invested yesterday....
