Dawn over Brooklyn 相片擁有者 WilsonAxpe 透過 Flickr： www.facebook.com/Wilsonaxpe #1 - Commended in the 2013 Welsh International Salon. One of 2 commended images and ten acceptances across the open, nature and travel categories. This was my first attempt at an international exhibition, so I'm pleased to have gained 10 acceptances (from 12 entries). # 2 - Accepted into Taiwan's International Taichung Exhibition 2013, accredited by FIAP Looking east over East River.... Manhattan Bridge on the left, Brooklyn Bridge on the right Shot days after my tripod tipped over in exactly the same spot with a D4, Nikon 14-24 and Lee SW150 Filter system with a ND 0.9 grad filter.... Heart stopping moment!! Luckily, the only thing that broke was the filter ( sadly, this is a regular occurrence for me ).... Smashed to pieces. Scoured New York for a Lee stockist to replace the grad filter - contacted 7 outlets who claimed to be a 'stockist' but for the most part actually only really took orders. Step up The Filter Connection in New Hampshire who didn't have one in stock but that wasn't stopping Adriana (at least I think that was her name)... They got on the phone to Lee in the US and tracked down a SW150 0.75 ND Filter (2.5 stops) and it was shipped to me in New York overnight. I didn't even knew Lee produced a 2.5 stop in the SW150 format (in fact, I still don't think it's available in the UK) and it's completely filled a 'need' for me. There are mornings/evenings when a 3 stop graduation is a bit too much and 0.6 ND (2 stop) just doesn't give you enough - and this fits perfectly between the two - so what began as a disaster actually had a lucky twist in the end :)... The shot above was the first outing with the new filter..... A return to the scene of the crime as it were
