Original Severn Crossing, near Bristol...

Has has been ages since I last went out with the camera, and I didn't come back today with many keepers. I also tried to do too much with too little time. Next time...

Still playing around with B&W conversion, so all comments more than welcome

Cheers Holo

Lovely composition and a cracking conversion too

[springtide]

Thanks for the comments guys!

vulkan75, if you do decide to take a trip over there, make sure you have your wellies. But I guess the Welsh side is also very muddy ?

Very nice indeed.

Great foreground interest, cracking sky, and the sun hitting the sticky uppy bits.

Lovely shot.

I'm not usally a fan of black and white,but that ain't bad

[tontoshorse]

I like the way it goes from dark to light.

Nice composition got it all and great B&W conversion

[electrolyte]

This is great. Nice composition all the way through the frame and excellent b&w conversion.

Great mono conversion, black skies always look great!

The cloud formation above the bridge is fantastic - really nice image.

[springtide]

Thanks!

I'm also a big fan of "black skies", and I think this is the first one that had come out OK.

Also, it's my first day out with a full set of ND Grads, since I only had a Hard 2 EV (0.6) before (Lee)

I used a Soft 3 EV (0.9), but still had to correct about 1 EV between the sky and the foreground in the conversion, which seems to be pretty common for me. Does everybody else seem to see this kind of exposure difference?

I'm just wondering why Lee doesn't do a 4 EV ND Grad
