That stack out in the ocean is just unreal - looks like a Yes album cover!

Very nice - like the long exposures as well - very cool

Think the scenes are so colourful that they work best in colour

what a wonderful looking location, nice set of photos to match, i do prefer the colour versions to be honest, the BW ones dont do such an awesome place justice.

That rock with archway is pretty dam amazing.

Great work

What an incredible place! That long exposure with the arch way has such a mysterious touch to it. Like ghost in an archway! Lol. Watching to many films! But, very well exicuted. Liking the entire set to be honest.

Thanks. The first two shots are North Piha and it was pretty overcast and hazy from the salt spray, the colour just looked pretty boring to me at the time so i went B&W. The rest of the pics are at Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel, really nice place. The long exposure shot of the arch came about due to the length of time i was standing there trying to get a clear shot of it, but more and more people kept turning up and walking through or standing in front of me to take a photo. So i decided if they were going to be there then i'd try a 10sec exposure. i used a CPL with an ND4 and ND8 stacked, seemed to screw up the white balance or something though as they had a strong pinkish hue to them which i struggled to get rid of. What you see is about as good as i could do, but that may just be my lack of ability with Photoshop.
