First long exposure water pic

[dustin746]

Tried doing it without a tripod, what do you guys think?

Looks soft (motion blur) from hand holding. What was your exposure time?

 

[dustin746]

1 second at f5.6

Yes looks soft. Did you use the self-timer? If I try these shots without a tripod I use the 2s timer. So when I press the shutter I have a couple of seconds to steady myself.

Nope, at the time I didn't even think about using it.

well you have the concept, now you need a tripod.

Then a remote release .. GND/ND filters ... the list goes on and on and on ...$$$

Nice start!

1 second at f5.6

At 1 second, I'd probably be all over the place with the photo. Haha.

I'll be getting a tripod ordered soon. Don't have any ND filters yet, though. I'll get there slowly! Lol

If I don't have my tripod with me, I prop the camera up on a steady rock or ledge depending on the environment.
