Walking On Water (Peverill Point Long Exposure), Swanage

            I've still got a couple more strangers shots to post from Venice, but thought I'd mix things up a little.  The project is already overwhelming my Photostream!

Here's a quick long exposure from last night, out on Peverill Point in Dorset.  I used a flashlight/torch to paint in the seaweed and spray - it could certainly be more even, but I only got one go before the sea reclaimed my vantage point.  

The light from the left is a mix of blue hour and Bournemouth's light pollution.  The shots that followed were a little too orange from sodium vapour lighting.  

UPDATE 2: (!) Still not quite happy with the banding, I switched to a SOOC version of the sky.  From my monitor that leaves just one patch of banding at the top of the screen.  That's uploading to Flickr as a 11.8Mb file without any tweaks - no noise reduction, no WB, no sharpening, etc.  I turned everything off.  It's better but still not perfect!  Shot at ISO on the 5D MKiii so, really shouldn't have an issue, but there we go.  

UPDATE: This is my second upload of this shot.  The compression on uploading the first brought out a lot of banding, that was unapparent in the Lightroom version.  I get a lot of issues uploading skies, and note contacts saying the same thing, so hope it's an issue the magic donkey is working on.  I added 2% noise and a brush>splatter filter to the sky in an attempt to protect it this time round.  It looks fine on iPad, but if I lower my head on the desktop monitor it still looks a little harsh.  Commentary on this front would be hugely appreciated.

Hope everyone is having a great Easter!
