Light & Dark
There have been some outstanding photos of this place from my friends over the past year. It is a place I wanted to visit but never seemed to get to, after seeing some outstanding shots from some fellow photogs from last weekend, I decided to make the trip. The sunset wasn't anything to write home about, but that mattered less for the 10stop filter.
I find having a copy of Chess on the iPhone useful for these shots, you can usually get a couple of rounds in while waiting for the exposure, I think this was in the 5 minute mark.
I tried the Lee BigStopper filter out here finally, I had been waiting for the adapters to arrive to attach the holder to my T/S E. If you're in the market for a 10stop, I recommend the BigStopper over the B&W screw on; there is no color cast with the Lee, finally something that England is better than Germany at! ;-)
