Results from Walberswick Old Pier

Well, this is what I got . . . need a little tweaking still - a couple of the horizontals are slightly off.
The Lee Big Stopper gives a blue cast as you may know but have decided to leave most of that in for these images . . . These are not all usable commercially for me, but I think I've captured the feel of the location as I felt it anyway. It was cold, windy and with some sleet falling and my tripod was buried into the sand in a foot of water, inches from the surface, so framing was not easy, especially as the 10 stopper was constantly in and out for re-framing, so some of these need cropping before I'll use them I think, but one of them will work for me. The location is difficult to frame as I'd like because of the proximity of the new concrete pier, which I was keen to exclude.
Loving the Big Stopper. . . . used in conjunction with 0.6 ND soft grad too.
Canon EOS 1DS MkII, EFL 17- 40mm  and EFL 70 - 200mm

Meet Tico

For those of you who are not familiar with him, here's my little helper on shoots; Tico or little Ticolino as he's sometimes known. He's been my companion whilst in France and Italy and not unfamiliar with flying either. I'll dig out a photo of him at the controls of a DC3
