!!!Happy New Year!!!

I have not blogged for sometime.

Partly due to work where I have been very busy and partly due to my drive to just get out and shoot.
If I am not out shooting somewhere I am processing shots.

Recent shoots include Dartmoor (Various), Thurlestone,  Bigbury-on-Sea (twice) and Brixham.
There are more but I just cannot remember.

Most disappointing visit was probably to Hope Cove where the light just is not that good and the tide is not favourable at that time.

The weather has been great recently, not too much cloud around at times but some super tones.
The latest export from Iceland appears to be doing quite well as a ND Grad.
Over the past couple of nights as the sun gets quite low the normal glare of the sun has been seriously reduced.
Im still using my ND Grads but the sun is most notably different.

I have been using my B&W ND110 10 stop neutral density filter more often recently and pleased with the results that it provides for. The filter has been in the bag for sometime after purchasing it from Mifsuds (Brixham), about 6 months ago. I went for this filter following a visit to a presentation by local (international) photographer David Clapp. My work processes have been finely tuned for this filter and I am more confident of using it now than I was. This will be verified by my recent uploads to both my flickr site and DEVONshots.com gallery.

Ill finish with a few recent shots taken with the ND110 filter.
