The technique of blending is really docile! The two pictures namely the color and the b&w, evoke different responses to me! The color photograph of the boat wreck with the sky gives me a sense of emptiness & helplessness of not just a boat wreck but it feels a loneliness of missing life and I strive to listen to the hustle bustle of life despite all the beauty I'd like to share with the one's I'm missing when I stare at this color picture! On the contrary, the b&w picture is far more compelling and evokes a fearful immediate response of the boat wreck and I felt, I wanted to flee from the boat wreck because it's a place of accident and long abandoned by life and none visited before me after the boat wreck and I feel frightened for being alone in the landscape and every element trying to engulf my person, so I feel I'd leave the place the sooner the best! The smoothness of water and blending of the sky with it enhanced the feeling of fright! Thank you presenting two incredible pictures of the same scene!

It really shows you how awesome a good ND filter is: way quicker, less chances of problems with alligning layers and during blending and less chromatic aberration because you don't have to shoot at f22.. Both B&W and color are awesome.

I also thought this at the end of the video but its a fascinating process to watch and now I apricate the filter even more.

Diffraction and other image issues about shooting at f22 aint that much of a problem when you blend so many images together. You aint looking for sharpness. I still own NDs so I aint cheering for any team here. But that was the point.

There is a shortcut. If you use file-->scripts-->statistics, you get a dialog box that prompts you to load your images, select your statistic (e.g. median) from a list and then Photoshop produces the same results as in the video. If you tick off the box "align layers", you can overcome any issues with your tripod shifting. You'll have to crop the image a little bit afterwards.

I didn't get spectacular waves that way -- my camera wasn't low enough. But I did get several series of images that are perfect practice for this techniques. Playing with different stacking methods I get some nice different effects, such as ghostly mists around some of the rocks in the water. Thanks!
