The catch light in his eye is from a small softbox that was used to light him.

Great shots, I really like your long exposure shots. Doesn't look like you've used ND filter in any of them?

looks like first/last light shots, probably can get away without ND if using small aperture

New macros of old subjects. Been trying to achieve decent pics with pretty thin DoF, hence why most of them might appear a bit on the soft side.

Hey, sorry, haven't checked this thread in a while!

I did use a 3 stop ND + a reversed 3 stop hard GND (to make another 3 stop ND) for a total of 6 stops ND for the waterfall, and for the lagoon shots the magenta-coloured one had the above combination + an additional 3 stop reverse GND, and the cooler blue one was minus the 3 stop ND.
