Day 099, Year 4 - Absolutely No Entry

A rather naff photo today taken during a wander this afternoon after my run, made only slightly better by using the Lee BigStopper, 10 stop ND filter to make the water a bit smoother. This is on the River Yare just outside Great Yarmouth, and I think this platform is something to do with the port authority, hence why the the gate is there to prevent people walking on it. Which is what I would have done had it not been there... :)

3 good things:

1 - Seeing my friend Gemma for coffee in the morning
2 - A great run along a different route this afternoon
3 - Catching up on my podcasts while walking with my camera after my run
That gate actually adds to the picture! Its frightfully well done! fav

I like how the big stopper effected the clouds too

Nice shot! The lines and sky make it very appealing.

Really like the stillness of the water and the movement of the clouds.

@365projectlinda Thank you.
And naff basically means bad, uncool, unfashionable...it's slang and used in a way that sometimes replaces an expletive such as the f-word. Having said that, to say something is "naff" isn't seen as offensive or bad language in itself. I used it hear just simply say the the shot is a bit rubbish or boring, although by using the BigStopper, perhaps it isn't all that bad :)

Steve the shot it good. I use the Big Stopper sometimes. The trade-off from it is that you lose drama in the sky sometimes if there is not snappy color to complement the smoothing of the clouds. Well done!

Naff? I think it's great - leading lines, contrasting colours, dramatic sky, silken water. What's not to like?!
