I went to Port Stephens for the day. It looks like a photographers heaven and I was blessed with the midday sun... I was lucky to catch the sunset before passing Stockton Bridge however.

For your critique as always. Thanks for looking.

The last image is a bit of an anomaly... Can anyone guess how this has happened?

interesting shot Suren, looks like a long exposure due to the clouds but it isn't! I am interested to know why you chose the BW option for this one - i can imagine a brillant blue sky here and am only teased by the BW version

The second image is a desat PP? I reckon that works well, crop to pano 'cause there ain't much the the foreground is doing that the middle ground is not already achieving

Suren was drinking coke from one of the fancy coke bottles and stuck it in front of teh camera? I got no idea really...

Thanks for taking the time to comment Gerry.

Are you sure that it's not a long exposure? It was 100 seconds.

It's not a desat actually... This is a color cast corrected version but I couldn't correct it completely. It's got too much green.... Care to guess how? I will have a go at pano when I get home.

Um, not quite. I hand held a another dark filter infront of the 3 stop ND mounted on the lens. Since the exposure was long, I was wobbling the filter in front which may have caused a little camera shake. I don't know why it's rounded like that. I had to crop this significantly as the image was really small. Perhaps because it's because the rest of the image was quite dark and was not exposed at all?

hmm, problem between keyboard and operator here me thinks...

i'm impressed, 'cause that is definitely not early morning

It was around 1700 where there was quite a bit of light. I was using a 9 stop filter to slow things down a little...
