Long Exposure

[_mikro_]

So I picked up a Lee Filters Big Stopper and went down to the power plant this morning and did some experimenting. I think I did ok for my first try. This was a 8 minute exposure at f9 with my sigma 10-20mm on a canon 80d. Any friendly advice is welcome.

I actually really like the look of this photo! Foreground with the rocks looks really great. The background subject matter isn't exactly the most interesting, but for a test shot with the new filter I'd say this is a win!

I've just started playing with long exposure landscapes myself.. my favorite part is the effect it has on clouds/sunsets.. try it sometime!

The water and rocks looks like mist. Kinda dreamy.

Thank you. Yes the background has a windmill but the blades disappear because it's a long exposure. That's why we practice!!

Nice. I'd like to try this at the ocean sometime - maybe Santa will bring me some darker NDs.

Do you have a shot of the same scene in a 'normal' image? (NOT long exposure?)
I would love to see the difference.

Foreground is excellent but loses some interest fsrther back. Perqhaps try a warmer color for the sky?

Yes, you absolutely did, and it came out beautifully, to my eye. Having seen the original, there's nothing wrong with embracing the coldness of December, either. When you start with a great image, it's hard to go wrong!

I agree that it's a shame to lose the blades on the turbine, as they are quite interesting (to me). I suppose you could take a faster shutter image of the turbine and add as a layer in post if you tried it again? Or you could clone out entirely (embarrassingly bad effort attached). I appologize in advance, but this was so engaging to me that I couldn't resist.

In any event, a really cool image. Well conceived and well executed. I look forward to seeing more!

Yes I actually just watched a tutorial on layering images in PS and I now realize that I could have taken an image of the scene first then blended them. That will be my next mission
