Georgeous reflections, DJ. I also enjoy the composition with this pier leading the eye towards the other side...

Beautiful bw shot, great contrast and tone. I like the reflection, the rocky shore, and the con-trails creating this zigzag shape from top to bottom. Nice shot.

Very nice shot. I like how you have layers of interesting things to see at all depths of this image. Awesome work. To answer your question, yes all of those photos were taken at iso 400 but i use photoshop to lessen the noise. try this tutorial > http://www.planetphotoshop.com/remove-noise.html GL!

Another impeccable B&W photograph. Beautiful composition, subject, tones, light and reflection. It has it all! I wonder what treatment you use to convert to B&W?
