Managed to finally get out today. It was raining quite heavilly but I decided the right weather may never come. pretty impressed with the 17-55 on the whole, had a few good shots but this is the first I processed.
Taken with D2X, 2 x ND grads and tripod at f8.

Thanks Gale, Cornwall is pretty cold this time of year but glad I braved it!

Beautiful light and shot. Where in Cornwall was this taken?

Hi Simon, Its Talon bay, just outside of Polperro which is about 5-10 minutes drive from my home. Its usually a lovely clear sea but the stormy waves and high wind have stirred it up.

Lovely part of the country. My parents spent some of their honeymoon fifty years ago at the House on the Props in Polperro. We went there a few years ago and it is still there.

Very nicle captured. Strikes a very specific mood. Mike

Another thought! Print that big and sell it to a local hotel :biggrin:

This one kicks butt and really highlights your new lens. Way to go.

Lovely! I like the effect of the sun's rays. Can't wait to visit Cornwall; it's on our must see short list.

Well there is an open invitation of beer and food if anyone is down this way

 

[Rich Gibson]

We've been all over England (five times now) and we made it to Portsmouth to see HMS Victory and the Mary Rose, but that's all we've been to between Dover and Land's end. We recently saw a travel program which traveled that entire distance by helicopter, now we have to visit ourselves.

Look forward to the beer; do they have scrumpy where you live? It's supposed to be apple cider with the kick of a mule!

:smile:

 

[lowlight_junkie]

They certainly do Rich, it also doubles as rocket fuel!!!
