Love this shot of the nave of Worcester Cathedral. Very well taken, - lovely composition and lines - and, as @Apple fanboy already knows, I must say that I really like English medieval cathedrals.

Thanks for starting the January thread. And a Happy New Year to one and all on the MR photo forums.

Terrific lighting and colours. Brooding, strangely still yet somehow ominous.

Cheers gents - all down to post I'm afraid. Scene was a bit featureless so went wild on PP. Taken with a 10-stop ND to flatten the waves.

You've done a great job there... I must admit I enjoy my pp as much as actually taking the photos. In my film days I spent most of my time in the darkroom... now I have a virtual one!

I'd agree with you on the value/pleasure of the post-part of the process but is it 'proper' photography? One for the purists to debate...

Here's one with a different post-approach taken from the same beach. Comments always appreciated.

Your images are always beautifully exposed. Mine always look dark and dull.. I need to work on lighting and exposure in 2016

Only the ones I post here.....I've generally found that the 6D exposes pretty nicely for normal times and for the very long exposures I usually do a couple of bracket shots.
