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.

Happy New Year to all by the way... and sorry in advance for subjecting you to another year of pictorial torture by way of my cameras...

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.
