This particular exposure was 1/2 second. But to keep the motion it really depends on how fast the water is moving, honestly, and what kind of patterns are available (like in my swirl shot). I just try different things and see what turns out!
The swirl, I just can't believe it's so crisp and it really plays a great part in the different focal points! I am just in awe!
So when you take long exposures, do you use any filters?
Using filters for landscapes and long exposures of water is pretty much crucial to getting what you want out of the shot. I highly suggest a neutral density filter so that you can expose long enough without having to waste time on those white-out shots. Sometimes, if it's dark enough, it's possible to shoot without one, but more often than not, even on a cloudy day, the ambient light from the cloud cover makes it necessary to have a filter.
But, I agree...you can do pretty much whatever you want with your imagination and how you shoot. A lot of us, and I'm guilty as well, get really caught up in having the right equipment sometimes and forget to "see" what's in front of us. I'm trying desperately to break myself out of that rut as we speak!
Third in 6 years aint bad at all and that's a great camera, I have a few friends that shoot with that! A wee bit fancier, but that would explain the amazing shots you get so, Id say that cam is deff worth the $$ spent on it for sure!
That would explain why I always get a ton of white out shots! and the shots that I do get w/out a filter are on dark moonless nights or stormy skies. Wow, shows you that I have a TON to learn yet, but thats what I love about it. Im sure I can go read the manual, but I am stubborn. I like the fight, I like the surprises. Photography is beautiful in that way! So "Neutral Density" I will deff use that next time, that is if and when I can figure it out! Ok I lied I may have to cheat and look that one up!! Sorry for the long reply!!
