The Deil's (Devils) Cauldron

Some shots from my recent trip in the Motorhome (RV) in deepest, darkest Perthshire.

there's a good vibe in those photos ... I was trying to employ my ND filters in the trip to Tuscany (that is still ongoing) but I didn't have a success (yet) .. your photos inspire me !! Personally I don't like the blurred leafs on #2 so I'd go with some focus/exposure stacking but in general I love the tonality and perspective of all those photos (especially the light in the #3) so good work !

Thank you very much indeed.

Yeah, the movement is an issue with the 10 stop ND. I don't mind it so much but appreciate why you don't like it. These exposures were about 60-80 seconds I think.

Cheers for the nice words.

Excellent set
#1 Oh pleeez clone the branch many will disagree I suppose - but they're wrong! In my opinion if you're using a filter, and long exposure is kind of a "technique" shot anyway so you might as well spruce it up in post a little more.

#3 is gorgeous I love it

60-80 seconds are for the sky ... for water (in skyless composition like this), you're fine with 5 seconds

Nice images, blur not doesn’t bother me, I’ve been know to it deliberately. 😌 Like the second shot best.

I have to go with #3. That light is just magical. All wonderful shots, though.

Thank you Z. I might have a go at that and post the edit later.

Cheers!!

Not with the 10 stop in a naturally dark, skyless under the canopy, place like that😁

Here you go fella'. Especially for you😉

The lighting in #3 is terrific, especially on the falls. I really like that one. Nice shots all around.

That's a beautiful set, and I'm really drawn to #3, even with the leaf movement.

I have to admit that I (also) tend by some unknown reason to always use a ND1000 filter when I am about to use filters ... My ND8 and ND64 are both rather idle .. I tried to photograph already some similar sceneries like yours but finally I never liked the outcome .. In reality, I don't have almost any photography with ND filters that I would like to publish .. Your shots inspire me ..
