i like the pics esp with respect to the reflections and the details of the ground... i guess for pic2... the details of the sky can be shown more if you have used an NDgrad filter?

Sorry for the late reply. Was overseas. May I ask whats an NDgrad filter?

 

[SteadyHands]

ND -Neutral Density
Grad - Graduated

Like #4 best for it's colour.

The composition of #3 is good with the boat at te right place, pity the colour of the sky is lousy.

Notice a few of the pics, esp the last few have slanted horizon.

Maybe just post a few to strength the content of this post. Too many pics will weaken the better one in a series.

Excellent shots. Thanks for posting.

 

[SteadyHands]

Nice is an understatement. You shot this digitally or on slide film?

Thanks all for your kind comments and thanks steadyhands for the NDGrad info. Will try to improve on the slanted horizon thing.

I used a gitzo 1220 with manfrotto ballhead( I'm not sure, just borrowed my buddy's tripod) with Nikon FM2 and Sigma EX 20/1.8. Used Fuji superia 100( Wish i had used slides :cry: ) Exposures were all done using bulb setting at f22. I think approx 15-30s( by my estimation of 1000,2000... )
except for #4 which was 1/125/f16
