That top one looks nice wit the blurred cloud mirrored on the water :) I would have gone wider to get more sky in personally but that's me.

Was this the 6 stop you said you ordered? You had to go with F22 to get 30 secs? Want to get a 10 stop now? :D

Thx :p I could've gone with a wider aperture but that's what you get when you're an amateur and you go and buy Bryan Peterson's 'Understanding Exposure'... where he hammers F22 into you for "storytelling scenes". I did read last night about that concept applying more to the old film and FF cameras, with APS-C's equivalent being F16 but went with F22 anyway, tbh the light was going and I was in a bit of a hurry getting everything set up.

Trying to get as much sharpness but not being very good at it, ah well, practice and enjoy...!

oh and yeah definitely going to get a 10 stop :)

Guess it all depends on what you're trying to achieve and whether you're ok with how the lens performs at F22 :) I thought your reason for F22 was to get that long an exposure but I guess I was wrong hehe

Nah, took a few shots at F16 and F8/11, tried different things out, but as the light was looking less dramatic very quickly it was the best shot at F22...definitely want to get a 10 stop though, love those really long exposures at Sea. Shame I live a 2 hour drive away from the nearest coast !
