Title: How about a long exposure thread!
Post by: Top Cat on February 10, 2014, 09:11:38 pm
I have recently spent a small fortune on a new lens and some Lee filters as i fancy trying my hand at long exposure shots during the day. So post up your pictures, lets see what you have taken i could do with some ideas.
Night shots are very welcome to as obviously they are long exposures.
I haven't managed to take any daytime shots yet, the two attempts i made were clear failures as the Irish sea on the North Liverpool coast got the better of me with Gale force winds and needle in the face power rain.  :scared:

I took this yesterday right at the end of the blue hour

Exposure 156 seconds.

Most of my long exposures (30 seconds) are of static cars! :(

I've taken a few. Long exposure shots are one of my favourite shots to take!
The first few of the Corsa aren't the normal long exposure shots, but still had the shutter open for a bit :)

Great shot vwgolfgtimk5 :happy2:

I took some similar ones of Toronto when I was over there last year although the water was not quite as calm as in your picture and hence the reflections are a little more broken up.

On another note, did anyone else have fog last night and was anyone tempted to get out in it for some interesting lighting opportunities? I'll add a few shots of the Golf in a bit of fog later this evening  :smiley:

Nowhere near as good as the Downtown San Diego shot but not a bad view for somewhere local to me.

I had to load this low res shot as my RAW edit wouldnt work.

I have recently spent a small fortune on a new lens and some Lee filters as i fancy trying my hand at long exposure shots during the day. So post up your pictures, lets see what you have taken i could do with some ideas.
Night shots are very welcome to as obviously they are long exposures.
I haven't managed to take any daytime shots yet, the two attempts i made were clear failures as the Irish sea on the North Liverpool coast got the better of me with Gale force winds and needle in the face power rain.  :scared:

I took this yesterday right at the end of the blue hour

Exposure 156 seconds.

Beautifull. I love long exposure
