National Bank

Work has been hectic and I was not able to comment on other shots so I gave it a break.

Re: National Bank

I really like that - good balance of exposure between the sky and the foreground, and the eye is drawn into the distance by the line of rocks and plants.

What ND grad did you use?

P.S. With a 6 second exposure you did well to find a day with no wind so the vegetation isn't blurred.

Re: National Bank

thanks all. I would recommend ND grad filters if you are into landscapes. You still good light but it makes the job a lot easier

Re: National Bank

I love 95% of this shot Andrew, the gorgeous colours in the FG area are beautiful and calming. The only section I am not keen on is the half a centimetre or so strip between the land and the sky where it fades into nothing. I think I'd have pulled the grad down just a touch more to cover that bit. But that Iis a minor point, it's a beautiful shot that would be most welcome hanging in any hall way.

Well done,
Rob
