Long Exposure

[DM51VER]

Thought I would give something new a try today so bought myself a cheapo 10 stop filter for £20.
I've always loved how these types of shots look when they have been done properly so I need to keep practicing.

I love the second one. Tried this last year at Cromer beach. Did not get the same effect. Where we're the pictures taken?

 

[Dead dear]

Very nice indeed, how long were your exposures?

 

[DM51VER]

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. I live in Aberdeen so all these have been taken at the beach here in Aberdeen. They are roughly around a 90 second exposure give or take 10 seconds I think. Just found another one on my card................

Smashing shots ..... I think the colour one has the edge, but they are all excellent.

I really like that last shot. Looks mystical!

The dust spots are spoiling them a bit, but the shots have a great ethereal quality.

Wow what a beautiful/moody set of shots. I do like the lot but No 2 is my favourite.

Thanks for the kind comments folks. Much appreciated.

Yeah hadn't realised until I saw them on another screen. Fixed the originals so thanks for the heads up. Hopefully manage to catch them all going forward.

One more from taken from the bow fiddle rock in Findochty......

Latest 2 additions are great, particularly the mono for me

It was a cheap(ish) ND1000 10 stop filter Camdiox 77mmND1000 bought of EBay. Only cost about £20

Thanks for reply, think I might have found b&w on Amazon for £89 instead of 160 so might give it a go.
