Time for a break?

Long time since I posted anything but love looking at all the work here as it just keeps getting better each time I come on. This is nothing special but taken today so here it is.

Just typical Japanese packaging but I have never seen one before, so of course I took a quick snap.

Green tea and white chocolate Kit Kat

Hi again, I've been off moving house so have neglected to follow this thread for a while. Sorry. During my absence I had a half day photography course. I learnt a few things and had a chance to play with a few filters. This was taken with a 10 stop neutral filter and was my first try at using the camera in fully manual mode. C&C welcome

StephenC ... Awesome shot! :cool:

I love Kit Kat, but that doesn't look appetizing to me, LOL :D

Funny, is this KitKat also with Wasabi because this white chocolate is not exactly white :-)

Stephen, fantastic shot, wish we had a sea here. Which filter you used, i mean which brand. a 10 stop might be too much but this image turned out very well.

Thanks for the comments guys, it was not the normal sort of photography that I do (ie spur of the moment). I had a set of Conkin ND grad filters which I had bought, at the photographers suggestion, but this was one of his. Everything else he was using was a Lee, so I guess it might have been one of theirs.

The same shot with just a circular polariser. It is not as well framed as the other shot, but the sky is a more natural colour!

That's just wrong, and nasty to boot.

Cool shot.

I've got a 9 stop ND filter; fun filter to experiment with.

Here's one with the 9 stop ND; I think I posted this here recently though...20 sec exposure - I couldn't believe how still that kid was at the end of the dock.

Beautiful shot, I love the contrast between the sea and the sky, in that right hand corner

Steph, in your shot it looks as if you also used Warm filter combined with GND. I wonder the effect GND Lee produces. You can see what I mean comparing the shot with polarizer only.

Stephen C, I actually like the original better... it's got the more natural gloomy look to it.

Could probably crop a bit closer, but already at a 100% crop with this one.

Droopy, the DOF there is almost too shallow, seems like focus is on her nose more than her eye(s).

Stitching shots with benches and such ceilings is very difficult. Well done....though next time try to take it from the exact middle... :p

I dont know if you guys can see but theres some weird banding or something going on in the black background, not sure whats up with that.

Vivitar shot through snoot/grid at 1/2.

Next im gonna get me a cigar and try it again :)

Looks fine on my screen. Then again, it isn't calibrated and is a glossy next to a window so not ideal. I like the mood of the shot a lot, but wonder if a little more contrast to reveal just a little more detail would work?
