My first ND shot, C&C welcome

[Turn7]

Nice, but is the bridge OOF ?

1/2 second exposure - I'm guessing that has something to do with it!

Nice shot, nevertheless. Would love to see that myself one day.

Nice!

I want to try and do some photos of the Harbour etc now that we are back in Sydney.

I know there are a few PH'ers here - anyone interested in trying to organise something one evening and bite to eat afterwards?

I especially want to try from the Cahill Expressway path but there are quite a few places around.

A few of us are going for after work beers in the city this week if you fancy it.

Drop me an e-mail.

[Mattt]

Emails seem to be down

For me, too much water in the shot (though obeying rule of thirds) and the subject matter seems a touch OOF.

At these shutter speeds, tripod essential (or a random bin, post, wall etc).

Found a slightly more focused version.

For that kind of shot, what settings would you recommend using? I'm using a Canon 60D with 15-85mm lens (or 70-300mm L but that's too tight) and I've got ND3, 6 & 9 grads.

I use a tripod with remote shutter release.
