    impressive…looks like the new filters are getting a work out… how are you finding them?

  • Diado replied

    Thanks Jim. I’ve not had much chance to use them other than that shoot, but I absolutely love them – so much nicer than any of the screw-ins I’ve had before! I still need to get used to them, in particular the difference between the image in the viewfinder and the photograph itself in terms of saturation and the level the grads actually start having an effect, but I’m sure that’ll come with time.

  • Diado replied

    Thanks :D Not ice, no, it was a long exposure on a calm day.

    lol now England is cold, but it really isn’t THAT cold.
    I would guess it was just a not-too windy day looking at the west pier.

  • Diado replied

    It was a long exposure, hence the smoothness of the water – not ice lol :)

    Great Color and comp and great work in photoshop. Congrats on being featured on the Home Page.

  • Diado replied

    Thanks :) There’s actually hardly any photoshop post-processing, just a slight saturation adjustment on the water, everything else is as it was on the camera.

    Superb!! very very awesome colors. nice photoshop usage buddy

  • Diado replied

    Thanks :) There’s hardly any photoshop post-processing really, just a little saturation adjusment on the water to bring out the blue. Everything else is it was on the camera. The purple sky is a combination of the sunset and a Cokin graduated pink filter.
