Not sure if a shot using the Lee BIG Stopper has ever been posted from this particular spot ... well, it has now 
Sad tale [for me] really, a couple of days earlier in the holiday I managed to break mine in two, so I had to borrow Frans & Richs if I wanted to do a long exposure - cheers guys 
I suppose now I'll have to get right to the back of the queue again 
Anyway, this was taken about 20 minutes before my previous upload from here.
Tech details: 400 secs @ f14, ISO 100 + 0.9 ND Grad + 3.0 Lee BIG Stopper.
Cheers for popping in, will catch up when I can throughout the day

Never min the Carlsberg....This is the Absolute...!!!
I mark this 100 out of 20! Excelent my favourite today!
You might try Studio Kit Direct for another Big Stopper, this is a small Company but whan it was launched every Company was quoting two months for delivery, these people had stock, I use them for all my Lee products because they seem to have stock when other large companies dont, phone 01746 769768 www.studiokitdirect.com
Talk to Peter Rogers.
Just a thought if your home insurance covers your photography kit claim for this!

Trev.
Prefer last weeks natural look but still a good one.

s'alright, I'll take half the credit for the shot then
tidy matey, very tidy.....
This is why we go where we go, and do what we do Paul, a stunning image, I just wish it were mine. Bet that was a sickening crack of the big stopper :-( Shortlisted...
Mark.
As has been said Paul, this is a stunner.
Sorry about the BS, I was gutted last year when I leaned on my ProGlass ND and heard that sickening sound. Never mind though, I've heard that they're not compatible with 5D's so Fran won't be able to use hers
Darren.
Brilliant shot showing foreground detail and pleasant backdrop. Good tonel range throughout. well done.

Beautiful stark image of the Cuillin behind and the colour on the big pebble is gorgeous. Sorry about the filter, sadly the queue starts somewhere near Timbuktu.

She must've got a dud then coz it seems to work pretty nicely 
LOL @ Dougie, how much is the bus fare to Timbuktu then?
Cheers all for your time and comments and a big thanks to Stace too for the GEA ... nice one
put the order in, you'll have the money by the time it arrives, they dont take any money til they dispatch. far too long to wait otherwise
you'll just have to sell a couple of prints or your body 
good luck with the prints

Mine works fine, never heard anything like that before!
Great shot mate
Late getting to this one Paul - cant really add to all thats been said, its a beauty and worthy of all its accolades.
Bad news about the Big Ten - like you said its a long queue for a new one, they are becoming rarer than rocking horse Sh*t.
C
cool, well done mate, no surprise there then..... now do I get the 49% of the E or the C? or shall we cut them both in half?
Very nice Paul, I like the soft water against the nicely lit rocks and the Cuillin looks good in partial silhouette but the top right rocks look a bit too dark for the rest of the image. I'm assuming its close to sunset with the bright western sky, if so the rocks would look better evenly lit perhaps.
John
Magic place...magic shot...congrats on the award to.
This was taken probably about an hour and a quarter before official sunset John and the sun is behind the cloud out of shot to the left. The dark rock is just a result of the BIG stopper vignette plus an overlapped grad, something I suppose could recover in post by blending another shot in, though admittedly it doesn't unduly worry me on this one but thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks guys, have a great evening.
Paul
Nothing to add to whats already been so well said.
Excellent.
John
