Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz

Its been a while since I've created anything worth looking at. I'm quite pleased how this turned out. I think its been a year since I turned out anything I was happy with...sort of funny how photography works like that. I think one thing is I've gotten so caught up with long exposures that I don't find any other images I take very interesting. So I've just been taking snapshots lately to get that old reflex back.

Enjoy.

 

gorgeous!

mind sharing your settings for the shot!?

 

Not at all:

Image Exif
Taken: 12/22/2008 11:34:40 PM
Make: Canon
Model: Canon EOS 5D
Focal Length: 23 mm
Aperture: F/16
Shutter: 132 sec.
ISO Speed: ISO-50

 

I try to do similar shots, but the longer the shutter speed, extreme brightness occurs even with similar settings for ISO and Aperture

 

Sorry I should have mentioned that I used a ND400 filter on this. And it was in the morning...the timestamp is wrong. This would be grossly overexposed if I didn't use this filter, so you're absolutely right.

 

Forgive me for my noobness, but which type of filter is that. I googled it and it lacked much results. Im still unfamiliar with filters, so is this like polarized or something? Anyways thanks for the info these are my favorite types of pictures.

 

check the 3rd table down

Hoya ND Filters, Neutral density solids in ND2, ND4, ND8 and ND400 filters at 2filter.com

 

The image seems composed of two separate shots (top and bottom). That being said, it is tremendously beautiful. What a photograph!

 

Thats a great shot, would definatley go large on a wall with that!
