Very nice image S. Charles. Given the light levels how did you meter?

Helps to have a beautiful location to capture!

Thank you, Bob.

As to location, it's true, we have nice places on Portugal's shore to shoot. I think it's a "prize" we get for not having other things wich are very important to our life!:D

This place is about 6 miles from the place where I live wich has about 20 houses....

This is a very rough scan. I took this early New Year's Eve morning. Sun was about to come over the horizon in a few minutes. It was freezing and I was so uncertain how these were going to come out. It was pretty dark so I had to use a small headlamp to be able to make the settings on the camera.

Outstanding image...

Thank you, Dsim, Jiri, Bob, Mandoman, Scott, Leon, Sam, Jon and Joe.

Thanks everyone.

dsim - there was a 3-4 stop difference between the ocean and the sky. I used a 3-stop ND Grad to block some of the light coming from the sky. I then metered for the ocean.

Snowy road

Chamonix 5×8″, Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 210mm, 13×18cm, Wephota NP 15 @ EI 25, exposed as N-1 and then developed in Rodinal accordingly.

I have to say that I love winter scenes, when everything is covered with snow... the landscape suddenly looks so clean, so calm sleeping under the white duvet....

My eyes are about the same age as yours, but never seem to see things quite as clearly.
