Forresters Beach Sunrise Shoot

Good old Forresters Beach. It’s hard to go to this place and shoot and not to come home with something to show for your efforts. On this morning I headed out with a mate Adam who shoots with a Medium format 6×7 Pentax.

We waited for a break in the weather as it was pouring down. There was some serious dark clouds and rain coming in from the coast on the right as we shot this. (Got shots of that on the GX617). This shot was on the 5D Mark II at 17mm and was a blend of 3 exposures +1, 0 and -1 and then blended in PS.

Where to buy Lee Filters Neutral Density Grads

I don’t know what’s happening, but trying to buy Lee Filters from the US just isn’t happening. I have been watching on B&H Photo for months now and even Adorama and nothing is coming and staying in stock and as soon as the product comes available within hours their out of stock again for months.

I have been waiting to replace my own Lee Filter Soft Grad set as they are totally flogged after 9 years of use. Sure they could have been better cared for over the years and not put into pockets, in between legs but it was more important to get the shot at the time than worry about slipping it back into its case. In saying that I’m very careful with my new Lee hard grad set.

Anyway I found a company in the UK that seams to have everything in stock. From the filters to the adaptor rings and the foundation kits.

I just bought my soft grad kit (.3, .6 and .9) filters for $128 pound that’s $247 Aust + postage. Pretty good and a better price than B&H where the filters cost $283 Aust + postage.

The website is www.morco.uk.com

Hope this helps all of you waiting and looking for these filters.
