Show me your long exposure photo's – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Just got my first SLR and had some fun playing around with long exposures last night with some sparklers, loved the effects it gave and I want see more photo's now to see how cleverly it can be used to get some really amazing images (definitely not so I can copy the ideas and pass them off as my own :wink: ) Here's my basic efforts from last night anyway...

Amazing results! Well done to all.

Makes me want to get a DSLR as I haven't done any proper photography for years.

Creamy water thanks to a 4s exposure through a ridiculous ND filter:

geetee I just genuinely got one like that. 20s exposure in a well lit office doesnt work in fact 5 is far too long.

I may well be experimenting with some star shots if there is any chance of some clear sky tonight. I quite fancy some motorway ones too.

@molgrips - first one is a 3-image HDR from a Canon 30D, 10-22 lens and a B+W 110 ND filter. The other two are Canon 7D, 10-22 lens and Canon timer remote control.

Some great photos in this thread.

Here's another looking toward Skye and Rum from Hynish, Isle of Tiree:

Never thought or heard about the concept of ND filters, but seems so obvious. Must get one, or more likely two!

Just googling, it says that you can get an infinitely variable ND filter by using two polarising filters. I already own one.. anyone used this idea?

nice one. I spent a week on Tiree this summer and had visions of producing something like that. The weather was awful for most of it so no gorgeous sunsets for me unfortunately.

It's just two plane polarisers (not circular IIRC) - in-plane they are unaffecting the light, 90 degrees out of plane they are a complete block. Vary.

But aligning them and getting no gap for light to bounce about between may be more fun if not in a proper setup.

I used to use a pair of polarisers on my old Canon AE-1. It worked, but I had to be extremely careful about lens flare. I guess this is a consequence of stacking a couple of fairly cheap filters in front of the lens.

I find my 110 filter (1/1000th light transmission), although expensive, is spot on for daylight shooting of water. The downside is you cannot see anything through the viewfinder. I usually compose and focus the shot, then add the ND filter, then keep taking images until the exposure looks about right - it's not a quick process!

molgrips you can buy a filter that does what you describe - I believe it's just two polarisers (linear) in a frame that can rotate.....

Here's a cheap one and an expensive one....

Last time I was at a waterfall I shot as fast an exposure as I could. Personally I was feeling that the long exposure thing was getting old 🙂
