Back from a few days in the best bits of Tuscany. My fave so far (taken with my trusty nifty fifty)...

Thanks guys. Will try and get more posted soon.

Back from a weekend in the Lofoten islands, up the top of Norway, in the arctic circle. My fave so far....

Thanks guys. From memory it was about a 10 second exposure with most of the birds staying reasonably still. A few on the second pipe are more blurred. Only one exposure.

a bit different for me but quite like the way the birds (gulls and a shag) came out in the long exposure

Thanks all. Talbot - Agree with all of your points. The gull is like that as it kept hopping abou during the 30 second exposure....I'll try it with it kulled. I had issues with wind and waves vibating the tripod so not as sharp as I would have liked for the the jetty and rock. I had to force the...

I'm back home in NZ for a few weeks and havn't had time to get out of town for the usual chocolate box shots but tried my luck with a few long exposures taken near Sumner in Christchurch... 1) 2) 3)

The only way my wife let me post these was if I cut off her head so that she couldn't be recognised :nuts: They we all taken in the bathroom, using available light. I had to clone out the basin in each of the shots! I'm a pretty much exclusively a landscaper so any suggestions on how to...

Have had a couple of people mention that the sky in the first could be darker so tried it out....

Thanks guys. Good suggestion Neil - will deal to it.

Have spent the past 3 days exploring the Sintra region where the weather has been rather crapsky....but actually rather good for long exposures with even light and misty skies. Would love to say that there will be more to come but my camera took an impromptu dip in the Atlantic yesterday and...
