Severn Bridge, Wales

@Magda: Thanks Magda....I was lucky that it was windy enough so the clouds were moving enough to give this effect during the 30 second exposure.

@Giovanni: Thanks Giovanni....it was one of those days that was perfect for long exposure photography with fast moving clouds.

@Sarito: Thanks Sarito!

@Didier DE ZAN: Thanks Didier!

@Jean-François: Thanks Jean-François!

@Pui-Yee: Thanks Pui-Yee!.....the processing is very simple really as it's just a straightforward conversion into B&W from the original colour image and then I applied lots and lots of contrast both using Photoshops curves tool and Capture NX2's 'U' point controls. Ohh, I also added some sharpening as the original image was a little soft due to diffraction from the small fstop that I used (f16) and probably a little wind shake from the long tripod exposure.

@Anna.C: Thanks Ana!

@Rui: Thanks Rui!

@Scene by Sharon Photography: Thanks Sharon!

@Sophie Asselin: Hi Sophie....it's all done in-camera rather than in Photoshop. Although I did increase the contrast later in post processing I achieved the blur and movement in the clouds and water through the use of a 10 stop neutral density filter screwed onto the front of my lens. Neutral density filters are discs of grey glass that reduce the amount of light getting to the camera's sensor thereby allowing the use of longer shutter speeds (this photo was taken using a tripod). The filter I used here was rated at 10 stops. A normal exposure would have been about 1/30th of a second at f16 rather than the 30 seconds at f16 that I achieved with the filter in place. I hope that helps, Ian
