Cyrstal Mill

Four filters used for this shot: Circular Polarizer, 3 stop solid ND filter, 2

stop hard ND grad for the sky, another 2 stop ND hard for the foreground

rock/water.

Thanks!

Beautiful postcard. Congrats.

A beautiful picture with great colors and composition.

Did you use all those filters at once? Great shot and composition, the mill really jumps out to me and there is a lot of detail in the shadow. I could see a crop just above the yellow tree to remove that foreground branch coming in from the left side although you would lose some of the dramatic sky.

Wonderful perspective and balance and a really aesthetically pleasing subject too.  Like Dave I also wondered if you stacked the filters? or if you took seperate shots and then blended the results?  The conditions look like bright sunshine, so I can appreciate why you would need a filter to slow the shutter speed for the water.  Suffice to say the results speak for themselves.

Compliments!

Beautiful light, wonderful landscape.

Absolutely stunning. The house are build unusual enough to keep the attention for a long time.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Dave and Alf: Yes I used all four filters at once. I modified my Cokin Z-Pro holder so that it would accept Z164 CPL, and two more square filters with out vignetting at 17mm ( actually 16mm as I made the same modification for my friends/students so that they could use it on their 16-35 lenses). For this shot, I have Cokin Z164 CPL, Lee 3 stop solid ND filter, and Lee 3 stop ND grad on the Z-Pro holder and hand held anther Lee 2 stop ND grad upside down (in reversed direction) to cover the foreground rocks/water. I wanted the fall colors and the mill to stand out. 

Cheers,

Henry

One of the most perfect photos I've seen of the mill.  The color and balance of light is superb and the grey skies really help to make this photo stand out from the other typical blue sky with clouds.  Good technique with the filters.

Amazing shot and colors!!!

Excellent work.  Very perspective.  Best Regards,

The color and lighting are excellent. It is a very beautiful autumn image!

Best regards Henry!
