Hi there,

This is my first thread in this section, i usually just contribute to the GND filter. So i thought it time i represent my homeland in this fine forum :)
I have spent the last two weekends in Snowdonia playing with filters, here are the best 4 images; C&C welcome.

Excellent conversion on 2, very strong image.

I really like 3. Too bad the 2nd pony didn't sit as still as the first.

1 is probably my favorite. Love the glass like water and the stormy clouds. Very contrasting subjects.

All 4 are beautiful.

Nr. 1 is great! Nice details and those clouds are very pretty. Nr. 2 is a little too busy for me, perhaps in color it could be better? Nr. 3 is nice, but not as good as 1. Nr. 4 seems a little overexposed in the lower section of the image.
Thanks for sharing.

Stunning photos! I like them all, but particularly #1. Are these from your 5D?

These are great Andrew. One thing to note. Be careful where you place the GNDs. It looks a bit dark in the corners in the first image. Anyways, the first image is just gorgeous!

Thanks, I know what you mean, i think i might have a fix for the second pony i think i have a shot after he has moved through so i might have a play with layers see what comes from it.

Thanks, Snowdonia is one of the most beautiful spots in the UK, easy to get to and far quieter than the lake district in terms of tourist numbers, plus there is a train to the top of the tallest mountain, what more could you want :)

I know what you mean, i think it would look better big, really big, at this size its a bit in your face. I have tried toning down the foreground but its still really bold. Anyway here it is in colour.

Thanks, well i am thinking of printing this one, its the first shot i am really happy with, its not perfect, its just the lighting was such a pain in the ass i am grateful i managed to get it this much under control.

Cheers Julian, I know what you mean i did see it in camera but thought to hell with it, i could maybe pass it off as an artistic decision :) when i got home i noticed how significant it was. The next day i was feathering on longer shutter speeds, i have learnt my lesson now:D

Really great shots. I like 1 and 4 the best.
But I think your keyboard is broken or something. There's a lot vowels missing in the names of the places.;)

I think you did an incredible job. The pictures are all interesting in their own ways, from front to back.

Keep up the great work.

John
