Like that a lot AE, really striking image. Are the rocks light painted or naturally lit from an external source?
Either way it works and I can see that image on someones bathroom wall somewhere! :D

Thanks, it was lit by an outdoor light on a hotel. The whole scene looked pretty much black to the naked eye though. I was a little nervous taking it as I was on the edge of a cliff with zero visibility except for the light of my iphone. The only way to focus was setting camera to ISO 12800 F1.8 and taking a longish shot, then manually adjusting the lens until sharp, before setting the camera back down to ISO 64 F Something (either 2.8 or 5.6 can't remember as I shot at both of those apertures).

Definitely stands out but the tips look too bright for me :/



Cool shot :)

Yeh this was just a quick edit, might take those tips down a bit when I get time.

I'm not a fan to be honest, sorry. :( I don't like the extreme contrast between the rocks and the sea behind, and the sea looks like a strange painting. I do like the colours in the sky.

How long was the exposure?

That's cool, unless you were trying to be a #@%, which I don't think you were/are, theres no need for sorry or sad face. :cool: :)

The shot was taken in multiple exposure mode. 10 RAW frames of 30 seconds, blended in camera into 1 RAW (Nef).

I'd be tempted to either crop whatever that is on the bottom right or clone it out.

Apart from that how you finding the D810. I've had mine 2 weeks now but have been so busy not really had time to play

I think it's great tbh. It's a bigger upgrade than I thought it would be. Just things like it being quieter makes me feel more confident about releasing the shutter, and the better tracking hit rate makes me feel a little more confident when shooting couples walking even at F1.4 at fairly close range.
I could go on and on...
