Andrew Thatcher our resident perfectionist photographer. He visualises what he wants to achieve and spares nothing to achieve his aim, often meaning Andrew is up before dawn to stake out the best vantage point in readiness for the best light of the day. His latest work, of which there are several examples in his gallery, involves the use of a 'big stopper'neutral density filter that cuts out so much light that you can achieve shutter speeds of many seconds even in normal daylight. But today's shot from Andrew's collection is more conventional, though it does appear to be a long exposure by the look of the water surfaces, although no less spectacular. It's a superb composition - Andrew has again found the right spot to position the camera - and the use of black and white works very well. If you like this kind of work, you should definitely explore the rest of Andrew's gallery.
