Canon 20D, 17-40L, F20, 2.5secs
Circular polarizer, 2 stop ND graduated filter, tripod, mirror lockup and remote shutter release.
RawShooter and Photoshop used to post process the raw file.
Garnock said:A question, Steve.
The CP filter would normally cut back 2 stops. The ND grad used, also 2 stops. Did you use the ND grad inverted to hold back the water or upright and then crop the bottom part of the image to buy you the 2.5 sec ?

fingerz said:I like it too. Using a CPF and an ND grad I would've expected the un-cropped shot to be equally as good as the cropped version though. Or was the sky boring?

An impressive representation of tranquility in a place that is miles and miles and miles and miles away from anyone, be they two photographers on a walking mission or not

Rub it in then!Steve said:It goes to show that you really do have to work at the photography to get good results, sometimes they will come easily and others it seems like we are on a constant up hill battle with nothing to show for our efforts.
Steve said:TBH I really like this shot and think I will have a large print done. With that in mind I don't want to be looking at it and thinking of all the comments that I might get if I moved the picture into the critique section. That section is for picking holes deliberately and identifying all areas (no matter how small) where things could be improved. As I am happy with the shot, that would just spoil my enjoyment of this picture for the years to come.

I have been through a phase recently (last four trips out) where I have deliberately gone out to photograph a subject or attempt to capture a certain style of shot and each time I came back with absolutely nothing.
I was beginning to get a bit disheartened with the photography until I shot at this location. It goes to show that you really do have to work at the photography to get good results, sometimes they will come easily and others it seems like we are on a constant up hill battle with nothing to show for our efforts.
