Another last minute effort. Enthusiasm waning. I fancied doing a seashore or pier with a 10 stop filter - I've got the filter, but the nearest seashore is 2 hours drive away and we're still in lockdown so here's our local mill weir at 20 seconds. It was good practice re calculating exposure ...

It's an old favourite location, Alan but you have succeeded in giving it a new twist with this composition and treatment. I really must indulge in a ND filter as the results are terrific.

Neat shot Alan. The water really came out smooth in here. I also like the lowish angle to used. It emphasizes the rim of the weir nicely.
