Hello
I finally decided to purchase a ND 10 stop filter to have a go at long exposures. I've never used any filters before (other than a CPL) and wanted to practice before a trip to Scotland next month !
I read some advice on the internet and downloaded an exposure app and followed this basic procedure.
Took a baseline shot with A/F on OIS off - ISO set to 160. With the shutter speed from this I used the calculator to give me the shutter speed with the 10 stop filter on.
Put into MF, screwed in filter- kept ISO at 160 and roughly followed advice given by my app - I found, however, that the app tended to under exposure images...
Selected timer and chose 2 seconds - pressed shutter and didnt dare move...
Does this procedure sound OK to you ?
This was the result witht the shutter speed at 25 seconds

However, when I increased the shutter times it had an odd effect on the trees in the top right corner ? Anyone know what this is ?
