A few shots from King's Beach taken early this morning. Used a combination of grad ND filters and HDR merge.

All taken with D200 and Sigma 10-20

First two are my winners too!

How many exposures did you use for HDR?

Thanks for the comments Folks :D

First 3 were HDR merge images. Used a 4 stop ND and a graduated ND in all of the shots which let me slow the shutter speed right down.

these photo's are simply awesome. Is there any reason you want to slow the shutter speed right down?

Thanks again for the feedback Folks.

Matty, the slow shutter speed gives a nice misty effect on the water. Probably a bit more evident where the water is closer. These rocks were SUPER slippery and after nearly going over with all my gear I was a little more cautious and get all that close.

If that 2nd one Slider isn't POTW I'll be knocked over by a feather.

Absolutely stunning !
