Matilda Bay

Went to Matilda Bay last night to try out my new LEE Filter kit with 3 stops glass.  I got there around 6:30pm and noticed a couple siting on the bench enjoying the sunset and I thought to myself, "aww, that's nice, maybe i should take a photo of them...." as i approached them, i realised that the couple was actually arguing with each other over the adulterous affair the husband was having (!!).  I wasn't sure if the guy was her husband but the lady was yelling and screaming on top of her lungs, but no punches were thrown.  So I kinda did a slight detour and found a good spot to take the photos I wanted, which was around 10 - 15m away from the couple....

Anyway, picture and colour turned out great, but i think there was too much vignetting on the lens, thus the 5 images stitching wasn't that great.  Taken with 3 brackets shots and HDR processed using Photomatix, stitched via Photo Elements and further editing using Adobe Lightroom.  This is my first time using a LEE Filter with ND glass and I am quite impressed - the image turns out sharper and the colour really comes out alive!  Need to practice more with this filter :)
