I like them Matt. Just the right combination of smooth and clear water too. Not too smooth, not too sharp (y) up from me.

If it's anything like the bubble level on my scope tripod, I'd get a known decent spirit level and test and compare... The bubble level included on mine scope tripod is at best useless.

Jon maybe onto sometihng :D
 
I really like these kind of shots.

I like the long exp. of sea as well.

I've tried taking them but I suspect I need some ND filters to allow me to get a long enough exposure.

Would that be the way forward with this kind of shot?

Steve
 
That's as far off true as ever I've seen from you. The spirit level can tell lies too. A quick use of the straighten tool would have confirmed the spirit level was out. The captures are great, the tripod needs its legs slapping.

I love this kind of water effect. In the first one I think it's smooth all the frame, even the still walls...The secon one is better than the first, but I think it's a little slant.

Even though I detest milky water, you haven't overdone it.

Like the slope on your images too!
 
Nice shots Matt... love the pinstripe water on the right of the second one.!

As mentioned the bubble level on a tripod body is completely useless seeing as you will be moving your camera about at all angles on the head!!! :D

There's a spirit level on my tripod as well. The tripod cost more than £400. It's unlikely to tell lies.

But it doesn't matter how level your tripod is, if the head is at an angle, does it?;)

Thank you!
 
Sorry Matt ! when you look at a weir or water fall, does it look that? Its just they look too smooth , water should be a living spraying thing , exciting and dangerous!
Smoothed off with long exposures really dont do it for me IMHO (i am an old git)
cheers Matt
 
Nice shots Matt.
... badronald - the camera never tells the truth, but it is out there !
