Heavens Hello

Well Hello thats really lovely. How did you manage to get the reflection to balance out so well with a 3 stop ND grad in place whenever I use anything that heavy the water reflection is way brighter than the sky. Whatever its a fabulous shot with real Scottish mood in Ireland.

Yowza...this is unusual and very awesome, Peter. Super mood about the image. Best I've seen on NPN in a while.

Fantastic!
Great work, Peter.

Very moody image, although I'd personally prefer the dark edges cropped out. Very unusual photograph, in a good way.

Magic moment it must have been. Good mood.

Lovely moody image.
Great dramatic feel and a narrow FOV that is quite encapsulating.

One of my favorites as of late.

Ian,

The FG reflection was slightly brighter on the trannie so Ive just dampened down the FG a little and brightened the sky a touch. The variance in exposure (3 stops) was as such that it meant they were not way out of kilter with the 3 hard stop grad. It was one of those situations where the light was constantly changing and I just waited for it to be really bright in the sky but with just the right amount of cloud cover to avoid white out in any area. It took a while and I got a wet 67 but hopefully it was worth it.
