[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 162487, member: 12198"] I like this 1st composition better I think with the layers of fog visible from my higher vantage but the moon is so darn high. I wish I had better manipulation software and skills. I removed power lines etc though [ATTACH=CONFIG]41112._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41113._xfImport[/ATTACH] Twice in the last few days I've tried out my ND filter with interesting results. I like that it darkens so I could try a long exposure for the water (in earlier post) and it does seem to give colour a saturation when using a faster shutter [ATTACH=CONFIG]41114._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]41115._xfImport[/ATTACH] Nothing like a stormy sky to show you how filthy your sensor is.... It took some playing to be able to get even these sky pics sort of right because I'm still working on reading my light meter to get the darker results I wanted. The lightning kept flashing around me but everytime I was pointed in the wrong darn direction and I'd adjust and next time I'd get lightning behind me again. I thought I'd finally caught a flash but found wet hail had landed on my lens and smeared everything. So not only did I get soaked and beat by hail but no lightning photos. Also ended up with 4 shots that looked like a big blue cross on the pic so I'm guessing I have to watch how far I turn my ND?
