    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.

    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

    this is a three exposure tone mapped image that was mirrored and digitally repixellated….16mm, f11, ISO 50, Canon 5D,

  • Peter Hill

    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

    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!

    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!
