I wanted to see if I could get that wispy dawn long exposure of breaking waves effect in the middle of a searing hot day.
ISO50 F22 1.6sec & a variable ND filter at about 80%
Well that was fun.
And the answer is ... yes, yes you can Nice job. Great thing to know ... I see many possibilities in the future. There are a couple of corn-processing plants in my area and they belch out a lot of steam. It's clean steam though! I have played with an ND900 for sunny times that the steam makes interesting patterns. Works well for that too. I look forward to seeing some wonderful & fun pics.
This has turned out fantastic. I must get one of those. I've tried stacking my 2,4 and 8 filters, but it seems to distort the colour. Variable looks like the way to go.
Love how you composed this with the forground as the point of interest. It leads my eye right in and creates such depth in the shot. Long exposure - you nailed it.
