I didn't get a chance to take any photos today unfortunately as I was busy fitting (what turned out to be slightly offensively loud) pipes to my motorbike and fixing a new clutch pedal to my car (after it broke and left me stranded twenty miles from home the other day).

So where's a picture of some tat.

Great shot! We get a small number of Snowy Owls in Colorado each year, but I have yet to see one. Absolutely fantastic bird.

Thank you. This is the first and only Snowy I've seen and it took my breath away...such a magnificent creature.

Not my normal sort of material, but what the hey! I'm loving playing with the 10 stopper. Again, edited in Lightroom and using no add-on packs or tools of any sort.

I love that it allowed you to get captures of it from different angles. It is probably the most exquisite bird I've seen too! The resident Ornithologist in training loved it too!

I really like what you've managed to get with the 10 stop! I have a 6 stop, as I thought I could combine it with my polarising filter for that extra stop or so, but it's just not giving me enough. Think these pictures have convinced me to get a big stopper! Thanks.

Thanks, Alex. Definitely worth the money and I swear by the Hitech IRND if you don't want colour cast and you want to keep it under $200.

I love it. Very moody and atmospheric.

I was inspired doing the editing whilst listening to Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) this morning.
