Five go mad in Dorset

Just to compliment the others - have a current obsession with long exposures and abstracts.

I think Hoodi was the only one not to fall on the rocks - I reckon all the Nikon kit acted as some sort of stabiliser.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I was wondering how your "long" shot would come out, and I think its worked tremendously well - infact, it's my favourite of these. Beautiful!
First and last are excellent too, loving the warm tones of the first!

[chewyuk]

I'm lovin the second one - Top Class.

[oldgit]

Only one word for these

Stunning

:)

Cheers. I did another at 240+ secs without the grad and the sky was completely blown on the right side although there were interesting clouds patterns on the left.

I'm inspired by two sites at present:

Stunning shots milou - every one a winner!

[InaGlo]

Another lovely set. :thumbs:

Particularly like the 2nd & 3rd for the long exp/dreamy effect.
Pity you couldn thave got the guy in 2 to walk a bit further out! :lol:

[Mohain]

Wonderful!

[Hacker]

All great shots but I love the colours in the first one.

[RobbieW]

I like them all, but the second appeals most to me.... I take it the 3rd one was hand held?

[Marik]

lol hand held..? you're kidding right? ;(

Lovely shots David, as always

[Janice]

WOnderful shots. They are really fantastic, well done. Put them in a calendar for 2007!

[HIMUPNORTH]

Brilliant shots Milou! Might even say the best of the group :naughty:

The last shot has suffered from you pushing the exposure in PP (Hence Rwotton's hand held comment I think) and produced "noisy" clouds. If you are going to push long exposure pictures you should try averaging. This is very effective.

A good start on this subject is here (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/noise-reduction.htm)

Cheers for that. By looking at the RAW file I reckon that another 3 minutes or so cooking time was needed.

I was taking the mick - was impressed you could do a 183 second exposure!

Check out Jamey's (Fingerz) 168 seconds exposure goodness: http://www.jameyhoward.com/photoblog/index.php?id=341

Super shots Milou. The man in #2 really adds a depth of scale to the shot.

[Darryn]

Awesome... number 2 is mindblowing tbh... best landscape shot ive seen on tinterweb. :clap: :thumbs:
