The Dolphins, Lepe Country Park

A very menacing sky with creamy water underneath. A most unusual combination well composed. My long exposures do not come out like this. It is as if you have used a special filter ...or painted the image.

Thanks Neil.............I used a Lee "Big Stopper" (10 stop) filter, together with a Lee 0.9 (3 stop) graduated filter to get the water like this and darken the sky!

(.........together with a lot of faffing about, swearing and trial-and-error)

Over half that goes right over my head Keith. It's fact, that only busy artistic people can find the time to experiment with gadgets and gizmos. I do seem to have a talent for faffing about though. As I told Gillie, since I perfected the art of procrastination I'm now having a problem with time management.

lol. It wasn't meant to sound so complicated.........it's not really!!

Outstanding shot.

Thank you everyone..........glad you like it!

Thanks again folks.........appreciated.

Great seascape! I didn't realise that the New Forest is near the sea.
