Ever since I visited the Tessellated Pavement in Tasmania about five years ago, I've been keen to go back, and try some long exposure photography with an ND filter.
In January this year, I had an opportunity to revisit the Tessellated Pavement, because we spent several weeks travelling around Tasmania with our children.
The Tessellated Pavement is located just north of Eaglehawk Neck, and is a naturally-occurring geological attraction that looks somewhat un-natural due to the straight and parallel lines in the rock formation. The two photos in this post were both shot with a 10-stop B&W ND filter, allowing a much slower shutter speed to be used, causing the moving water and waves to appear as a smooth blur.
Both photos were converted to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2 plug-in for Adobe Photoshop from Google's recently discounted Nik Collection.

Awesome photos. I would love to be half as good as this someday :-). Tassie is an amazing place to visit.
