Turimetta Tunnel

Turimetta Tunnel

According to this image’s EXIF, it is the 15,000th image I have taken with the Canon 5D Mark II. I love my Canon 5D Mark II. I still love my Canon EOS 10D, but my Canon 5D Mark II is my BFF. Once again I am enjoying the colour enrichness provided by using the x400 9-stop filter, aka the Black Glass on the awesome EF 24-70 f2.8L Zoom Lens, this time at 48mm. The low ISO 50 helps dramatically in achieving length of exposure, this one over 20 seconds at f10. As I am want to do, I shot this as a single RAW file, and cropped and sharpened it. The image was shot at Turimetta Beach, my new best beach friend, around noon on a bright and clear winter’s day in August 2009. Best viewed large Did I mention I love my Canon EOS 5D Mark II?

    I understand totally what you’re saying about your BFF, as I too am enjoying my new BFF! lol! These latest shots of yours at Turimetta Beach (where do you find these names, I never seem to notice what beaches are called…) are simply beautiful. The colours, so rich, and the effect of the Black Glass creates such a misty painterly effect that lends itself well to beach landscape photography.

  • Peter Hill replied

    How’s that 10-20 going? I found this place basically from boredom – walking around the headland at low tide, THEN I did my research. I had never heard of this beach either and I think the locals prefer it that way! I agree on the BG – a really long exposure gives water pouring off rocks a real body to it.

    Wendi Donaldson

    Gorgeous!!! 15,000 shots….well you know what they say about practise!!
    Truly a beautiful image, Peter….really love the blues and greens – those rocks are fabulous – and of course, thanks to your expertise, they’ve been captured perfectly. Well done!

    Peter this image has a wonderfully primitive feeling… sort of a real life Jurassic Park I’d say. The more I hear and see about the 9-stop ND filter the more I want one for my Nikon. Great composition too…

  • Peter Hill replied

    Thanks very much Jim, I think your analogy is quite apt!

  • George Swann

    George Swann

    Excellent shot Peter, may I ask which brand and model of camera you used for this lovely Image!

  • Peter Hill replied

    Thanks George. Sorry, but that information is confidential, available only to those who scroll to the Description. However, since you are very kind in your feedback I will give you a hint: 5dmk2. Unfortunately the lens is currently out of action, having fallen in the line of duty onto rocks at Crescent Head earlier this month, along with the camera, which suffered a cracked head but is still very much alive and kicking butt.

  • Magee

    Magee

    When you find out George, could you let me know too. I’d love to have the equipment capable of producing such a first-class image, not to mention the brains to make it happen. ;-)

  • Peter Hill replied

    Hello Magee. Thanks for the feedback, please see my reply to George.

    You upgraded from a P&S to a DSLR [thankfully a Canon and not a Nikoff]. This alone means you have the sufficient quantity of brains to take that extra step – filters. They are easy to use and will even out the light exposure for your seascapes. go for it.
