I took these the other night at Arrow Rock Dam, just outside of Boise, Idaho. I used a Nikon d5100 with a 30 second exposure.

Diggin' the first and the last shot, cool stuff.

A throwaway from back at the start of December.

Beautiful.

Exposure time was 210 secs.

How'd you judge the exposure time? Just trial and error? Like I said, I'm new :p

take a metering with out the filters, then use a exposure calculator or exposure table for the number of stops of filtration your using..................

^ This. But then depending on when you take the photo, like I do a lot of sunrises so you have to allow for the light changes due to the sun coming into view. So its better to go slightly shorter than what is calculated as to not blow out :)

Good to know about the ND filters! You certainly get some great shots with them.


Messing around last night:



I picked up an old wide-angle and the reversing ring should be here tonight, so hopefully I'll have some true macros to post this weekend.

It is way hard to focus with this thing...






I need to devise some contraption that will let me focus stack so I don't have to shoot exclusively flat objects, lol.


Also, any idea why the center blurs when I stop it down (up?) past like F8? Is that just the physics of it or is my '80s Sears lens not cutting it anymore?

[mrsleeve]

yes thats just the physics of it
