Excellent images, The first one not cropped is great. I think the wall on th eleft gives it a feeling of size.

This was 4sec and f/18 - 18mm - 200 ISO
I was basically trying for a 4 sec shot so just upped or is it downed the f stop.
Hey Im really, really ecstatic with the comments guys thanks alot!!
I wasnt even happy with this shoot as 5 mins in I got splashed, and had to wipe the salt water droplets off the camera with my jacket as I had left my bag in the car

hehe! I think you can still see a smear in the photo from the water on the filter.
Just the kit lense.

For those interested I PP'd the shot taken 1 sec after.
This has more fluff in the water but maybe the first shot is better somehow the sky is darker in the cloud!!

That is excellent

Look at the exposure, the comp and the DOF.....Adam I think you have just shown everyone and proven it's not the gear...it's the man (or lady) behind the lens
Excellent work and well worth the recoginition

#1 is excellent.
Goes to show what the D70/18-70DX can do in the right hands - and you've certainly proven that.
Well done!

D50...not D70....D70 should be twice as good
Someone should donate their D2xs to Adam

oops, my Sony. I made the fatal assumption of 18-70 Kit = D70

admajic I am so tempted to say that the horizon is not straight, but I will not
Lovely images. Like them very much

number 1 is outstanding.
as for cropping, the second doesnt do it for me.
If anything perhaps crop a bit of the bottom of the first to make it slightly more pano.
works as it is though
Well done.

well done
