Hi Steve and congratulations on your new camera :) Hope you can gives us some hints about it later (i'm personally thinking of getting one next year).
A really amazing capture of these volcanic rocks and the huge amounts of steam present there.
The sharpness is indeed amazing here...what type is your large tripod, btw?
Anyway, the colors are magnificent, the whole atmosphere is fantastic and the composition wonderful.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Stephen,
You offer us a wonderful seascape, I feel a mystic atmosphere. The mist gives a great effect. The composition and colors are super. I notice a new Canon EOS 400D, Christmas father is in advance ;-)
Congratualtions my friend !

This really is something to aspire too! i love your shots of coast, the compositon of the rocks, the colours, your mastery of the exposure. All reminds me of how far i have to go to achieve anything like this. Hopefully a better camera next year willl help but in the meantime i'm happy just to gaze at your images with not a little envy. keep 'em coming.

cheers,

Paul

Un extraño paisaje Stephen, casi de un cuento de ciencia ficción.
Espectacular atmósfera capturada con gran POV y colorido, a partir de un correcto DOF y foco muy bien logrados... 25 segundos de exposición?.
Una bella composición... gracias y hasta pronto.

A strange landscape Stephen, almost of a science fiction story. Spectacular atmosphere captured with great POV and colors, starting from a correct DOF and focus very well achieved... 25 seconds of exposure?.
Beautiful composition... thank you and until soon.

Hi Stephen,
The very long exposure has created a beautiful and surreal effect to this scene. I love the composition and framing here. Is the horizion off kilter a couple degrees? Awesome scene.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Stephen,

Wonderful stuff. This long exposure and wide DOF works fanastically and you pulled it off so well - and the band of colour in the sky adds an element of warmth to balance out the cool blues.

Very impressed with the sharp shot in such wind - did you weigh the tripod down?

I have to say - my eye keeps getting drawn to the hole in the rock - I can't quite decide if that's a good or a bad thing...

Regardless, great work. TFS.

Another wonderfully misty long exposure. Like the other one, this works really well for me. The misty-surreal thing is great. Good to see it with a new camera, too.

Hi Steve,
I'm really amazed about the color of the sky. Just amazing that you managed to capture this without any colored filter. The slow shutter speed has really made the water look like fog and has created this eery look. Just love the subtle green colors on the rock and the shape of the Elephant Rock. I just feel that the rocks in the middle are a tad too dark and dominant.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Stephen,

This is exactly the kind of shot I'm not surprised to find in your gallery. If you know what I mean :-)
Love the misty sea, mysterious mood and the simple colours.
Lovely work!
