More Motion

Well, after the previous long exposure post, I got in the spirit of changing things up and decided to just have some fun with longer exposures. A little zoom here, a little panning there. It's pretty neat what you can do with some creativity.

Both of these were taken from the passenger side of a car going around 65 mph. I could only get the shutter speed down to 1/20 sec - and that was done by lowering the ISO to L1 (ISO 100) and stopping down to f/22. I didn't have an ND filter on me so the only other option was overexposing.

Long-Exposure + Water

OK, so I decided to change things up a bit. One can only look at so much real estate before going bonkers - so I figured I'd post something fun and different. Enter the water.

We've all seen photos of Niagara Falls, so we know what it looks like by now. As a matter of fact, both of these were taken at said falls, just a little upstream.

Technically speaking, these shots weren't all that challenging to achieve. It was super-bright outside, so getting a long-exposure takes a little extra effort. Stop down to f/22 (or whatever your minimum aperture is, it could be even smaller), overexpose a little if you need to, and hold your camera steady. Trial and error - as usual - and watch the results each time.
