Thanks both. It's a composite of three different exposures to retain the detail under the jetty/pier, merged in LR.
Went out for another sunset last night and it was grey, grey, grey. Almost zero colour due to some heavy cloud cover. Made lemonade and come up with these long exposures.
Cheers

This was a pretty crappy photo in colour - I made the mistake of using a CPL on my Fuji X100F without trying it out first and it overcooked things. However in B&W it does have some merit and I have tried my best with the limited software that I have. It was shot last week whilst walking the Purbecks - the dog on a lead in one hand (to stop him leaping over the cliff after the wildlife) and the camera in the other - which isn't the best way to get a decent photo but it's the only way I have
Well Mr Toad, I think I'm inclined to agree with you re the cropping. I will have another go - btw the horizon is actually level (I did check as I hate sloping horizons) but as the coastline goes in and out you get the impression that it isn't.
I prefer the second one.KP 2345-2 copy by mrcrow_uk, on Flickr

Wisner 4x5 TMAX100
Exposure f45 10 seconds
(metered exposure was f45 1.5 sec. I added 2 stops to get into zone 7 plus 2/3rds stop for bellows factor
Developed for 7 sec at 19 deg which was -15%
Scanned using Epson V850 and cleaned up in PScc
My plan is to take the same picture today on 8x10 and make a contact print...........
All in all very happy with the outcome

Basically, if someone said they were taking photos of flowers in black and white, I would tell them not to bother - colour is one of the essential joys of flowers. In this case I would be very wrong. Agree with Rosedalelad about the lean of the vase (but not about the tip of the leaf).Wisner 4x5 TMAX100
