    Finally got a chance to work with a model. She was very new to it. Took a bit to get her comfortable, but she got into it eventually.

    Burney Falls

    So after deciding to go with the 20, 28 and 50mm manual focus lenses in my signature for landscapes, I needed ND filters to exploit their full potential. I settled on a 3, 5 and 10 stop set of 3 Singh Rays. This is my first attempt with the ND filter using the 10 stop. I tried a variety of filter combinations and exposure times. I like this one the best.

    I had the privilege of photographing the 3 week old grandson of one of my coworkers. Here is one of the photos that I envisioned even before arriving on location.

    Same shot as yesterday, but no tripod or filter. Had to compromise either ISO or aperture to get a decent shutter speed. ISO 280 was not much of a sacrifice.

    I think I like the filtered image better.

    I think I prefer the filter image as well. That look is something I really like.

    Mine for today. Note the reflection of the flowers in the bee's eyes.

    Westendboy, Great capture. Its difficult given the range of lighting that exists in the image. But a lot depends on what story you want to tell and how you can tell that most powerfully. Can you try the image again on a cloudy day, without the sky there. That way, you can slow the water way down and not burn out the sky?

    I would love to go back, but it is a 900 mile drive. But you are bang on, it was basically the bottom of a dark hole. Thank god for the D800.

    I think that should have been 'thank Nikon for the D800'.

    Just sayin'...
