The long and the short of it.

Two shots from last night's sunset. The top one is a 30 second exposure using a 10 stop ND filter the bottom one is a 1/40 of a second exposure. I think they both have their charms. I'm not sure if the blue in the top image is a colour cast from the filter or just an effect of the long exposure. I'd be interested to know which is every ones favourite?

Both lovely, but think I prefer the calmness of the top Jone! Fav

A tough one because I love the smooth waters of the top image but the golden tones and their reflections on the water in the bottom image are beautiful. I think the bottom image just edges it because of that, but both are lovely :-)

I like the smooth water and cooler tone of the top one, but you are right both are beautiful.

Love both of them but the bottom one is my favourite with the golden tones and texture on the water.
