These look amazing.
Did you use any ND filters for these? If so which ones?
Thanks! I was really pleased with how they turned out.
Actually I didn't use an ND for these two; the range of light level was really extreme, expecially for the first one, so the lighter shot out of each bracket of three got a somewhat long exposure without any extra effort from me. I did have the Hoya "HD" polarizer on but that's not supposed to cut the light as much as a regular polarizer.
I do however have a Hoya NDX 400 (~ 9 stops) which I just love. My copy has hardly any effect on color (cools shots down a tiny bit, but that's all) and best of all, unless it's really dark I can tweak composition, meter and even focus in liveview with it on my 17-55. The Hitech 10-stop I had before that was abysmal - it had a huge color cast and light leak problems.
