Timed Exposures....

Recommended Posts

Great post and topic, congrats on getting it pinned. Here is one of my experiments with long exposure and Christmas lights. There are some great photos here, Mokia, that make for some good inspiration!

A couple of images to add to the collection; one of Mt. Hood, shot to show it as a particle in the universe, and one of a great blue heron above Oak Springs fish hatchery on the Deschutes, shot by moonlight. The Mt. Hood shot is about 4 hours, 6 minutes exposure (the lightning bolt more or less instantaneous), the gbh is 8 seconds. I did not realize the heron was there until I looked at the image on the computer, and for that matter I didn't know for sure I'd caught the lightning bolt (see the face in the cloud?) until I developed that roll of film.

Hope y'all like them.

I see my profile shows me as "bait fisherman." Not since about 1956!

Have included a few of my own efforts in the area of timed exposures. All were taken with a Canon DSLR, Manfrotto tripod, Acratech ballhead, cable release and both a polarizing and split ND filter were used.

They were all bright light conditions, so there was no hope from the beginning <img src="http://www.flytyingforum.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

 

Maybe I shoulda tweaked the ISO...

 

 

You would never shoot any long exposure on anything more than 100.

 

You need a neutral density filter to shoot in broad day light to allow for long exposures unless you really want to place your aperture at 22.

Jimr-

 

Great photograph.

 

I was going to shoot a timed sequence of the eclipse. But high cirrus clouds moved into the Dallas area before it started, and the moon became a fuzzy blob in my DSLR.

Oh well, 2 more chances in 2015.

 

Thanks for posting.

Thank you,

It was my first time with a barn door tracker. I need to install a small LED light to better view the clock face I drew, maybe some glow in the dark dots. Also I need to velcro an iPhone holder onto the board so I don't have to hold the phone and remote shutter release in the same hand. I used a metronome app for timing, so I just need to hear it.
