Very good.  I'm picking out individual rays of light.  I think if I tried to take this I would have overexposed it.  Did you use any special kit like a hood, or did you adjust the lighting afterwards in Photoshop or suchlike?  I think this is one of the best rays of light type photos I've seen.  OK, THE best.  Well done!!!!

Hi Richard, thanks for your compliments. I used the kitlens on the D70 18-70 with an 81a warm up filter and ND grad filter. I think the purple glow in the top part is due to the latter.  1/80 sec @ f3.5 - 18mm. Oh yes, single point exposure taken in between the trees under the darker graduation of the filter.

I think the purple edge could be due to stacked filters with a wide angle - it's probably shadowing onto the lens.

I've tried stacking 3 filters at 24mm...no!

If you look around the edge, you can see light drop off in all the corners. Must say that the grad doesn't look particularly strong, whilst the warm up does - I still think the warm up is actually too magenta. 

And after all that ranting - must say this is a bloomin good capture.

I quite like the vignetting. It could be fixed in Lightroom though if you really wanted to.

I used to get vignetting on my 90mm schneider...the image circle was a little shy to cover 5x4" with movements...

But it often made the photo!

I liked the vignetting, it gives at least an area to look at in the pic, since there is no POI as such.

This is a lovely photograph Simon, looks like the one Woody used in his article?

I like your article by the way Woody. I am a terrible reader, and I have to keep coming back to read some more to take it all in properly, but it is a well written article and lots of useful tips to learn
