Exposure Questions

Forgive me if I'm not allowed to link to another site, but this is just an example.

1x.com - Forever by Dorin Bofan

He says that the exposure was for 3 minutes. How can you take an exposure that long without it becoming completely white? Filters? Or an extremely small aperture? And what lens do you think was used here?

Thank you all!

Drop the ISO, Shutter priority, remote, tripod and patience

Gorgeous photo.


Reminds me of the view from my cabin trip in Alaska last September (just a point and shoot pic).

The caption says "before sunrise" so it was probably still dark out.

It could be time when the photo was taken or ND filter was used or both.

Like in this example. Bryan Peterson took the shot for 10s after the sun had set.

Agreed, I was a bit confused too until I caught this.

I'd say ND filter. I love the water in that pic.

He probably has the creepiest hair I've ever seen.

LOL, my wife said he looks like the homeless guy with the golden voice.
