Superb, did you use a ND filter?
Mel Brackstone replied
Ta….this was shot quite awhile before dawn, a LONG time ago, so I’m guessing I didn’t use any ND filters…

So what other treasures are you hiding in those coffers lol – it does take a while for some of them to emerge doesn’t it – some images are very shy. Love the mirror work on this – subtle and beautifully abstract image.
Mel Brackstone replied
Thanks Geoff, I never did think I’d be able to post this, even though it’s been processed and waiting for so long….but I finally decided it was time…

Please Mel pretty please with ND filter on top, can you remember ANY shooting details????? huh? huh? huh? Is it, for example, a mirror image Left to Right?
Mel Brackstone replied
Let me see if I can find the exif…..
Mel Brackstone replied
Peter Hill
Wow. OMG even. Thanks very much, Mel. Really appreciate it!
Mel Brackstone replied
You’re welcome, Peter….as you can see, the colour was boosted a little too…and I suspect I may have cropped it so the black shoreline wasn’t mirrored
Peter Hill
I am definitely going to try this out on some pre-dawn shots at Long Reef I shot the other day. It’s the kind of Black Glass effect I am trying to achieve.
Mel Brackstone replied
Ahhh, righto. I shot some more black glass at this morning’s sunrise shoot….it’s a challenge!
Matthew Hogan
Nice work mel
Joanne Bradley
This one is magnificent! I am really feeling the blues! Just gorgeous!
Al Williscroft
Wow amazing capture!!!
Robert Gingher
One of my surreal favorites. Don’t know how you wrought it but it makes me imagine a dark glass filter with a less dense elliptical center. The vignetting really works for me!
