Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

So I simply buy a hoya circular polarizer and screw them together? Sorry, wasn't very specific, was meaning to ask more about the mechanics of it. My ND400 doesn't seem to have a filter on the front?

Hi, I've recently just bought a Hoya 52mm ND 400, which is great and does the job perfectly, but I was thinking about pairing it with a circular polarizer as well to reduce the reflections in long exposure water shots... but... can you stack them? I hear about stacking filters, but I'm...

I love it! Sheepy Chaos! :) I think it would add a bit more emphasis of the chaos if you cropped the pen itself out at the top, it would highlight quite how cramped they are in there. Possibly do with being a bit lighter too?

Actually, I think this version is a bit sharper, took two separate exposures

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I sort of see what you mean, in that it's not *all* in sharp focus, but the front petals are definitely in focus (sadly not the reflection). Larger version here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrjaba/6825562095/lightbox/ I think the problem is that I'm still...

Just took this this evening, attempting to see how much of a reflection I could get in the water. Hope you like it!

Thanks for your honest critique, I definitely understand about the negative space, there is a lot of it. I couldn't find much in the way of foreground or background interest at the time, but it was fun trying out the technique anyway. I hav this other image with a lower pier With...

Haha yeah I couldn't believe the gull sat there for the whole 60 seconds! I only noticed it in PP :) I was playing with exposure length, they varied from 30s to 1 min 30 under the pier. Aperture was f/22. I was just using my 35mm nikkor prime as I don't have a proper landscape lens yet.

Thanks very much guys! Josh, I'd thoroughly recommend trying it, it was great fun to try something totally new, and the Hoya filter did a damn good job and isn't *too* expensive. Paul, it's just down the road from me in Felixstowe. I've only been a couple of times, need to see if there are...

So I thought I'd give this long daytime exposure a go and bought a Hoya ND400, this is what I came up with. Hope you like them

Thanks Geof, I'll try the crop tonight when I get home, I think you're right though getting rid of the white would help it no end.

Thank you! I still feel like it's missing... something, like a lot of my shots, but I quite like it anyway. I think the 366 will be a struggle, especially with the dark evenings forcing a lot of desperate rummages in the house to find an interesting macro shot!

This is another one from my 365(366) project that I thought I'd share, as I'm quite pleased with it.. most of the others are a bit rubbish! A picture a day is hard work. We're trying to clear our garden at the moment, and had some old wood sat on top of this section of grass.. everything...

I see what you mean about the tones, any suggestions on how I could change it to be better?
