Non exis­tent sun­set at Howrah Beach. Cap­tured with usual shi­daz­zle of a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17–40, Cokin Z-Pro .6 and .9 grad­u­ated neu­tral den­sity fil­ters under expos­ing the sky to give it more oomph. It occurred to me while writ­ing what equip­ment I use that it sounds ter­ri­bly wanky. I try to post my equip­ment and retain the exif data on my images in case any­one is curious.

    Very nicley done. Keep up the nicley old school Land­scape work btw, so refresh­ing when pre­sented with so much hdr ‘crap’ from the major­ity of other ‘mod­ern’ photographers!

    Also i like the fact you update with equip­ment and exif, as i am curious!

      Thanks Dave that means a lot. HDR is way over played so it’s nice that I can still stand out with­out jump­ing on the band­wagon with the lat­est fad.

    I like how you men­tion your hard­ware and exif data. I don’t think it’s wanky at all.

    BTW– I love the shot. Your work’s an ongo­ing source of inspi­ra­tion for new pho­tog­ra­phers (like me!). It’s great to be inspired by ‘tra­di­tional’ work and a reminder to stick to time­less tech­niques (despite the fact i’m guilty of stray­ing into fad’ish tech­niques from time to time.…)
