I love Newcastle… the place is stacked with photographic opportunities and on Sunday 3rd of August 08 I ran my first Newcastle Day course. Towards the end of the day we made our way to Merewether Baths as I had an idea of a shot that would complement a clear sky and give students on the course a variety of compositions to shoot.
Single image | Canon 1ds Mark II | 70-200mm f2.8 | shot on manual at F22 for 35sec | 10 stop ND | focal length 155mm.

Brilliant Shot. Absolutely LOVE it.
10 Stop ND, that’s crazy talk, but the results speak for themselves

Yea it is crazy stuff Arron the filter is so dark you cant even focus through it. Works well in certain situations. But not in others.
