Tonight I continued my long exposure experiments down by the river. Realised I didn't know how to use 'bulb' on my camera, so was limited to 60 seconds. Liked this shot because of the creepy tree roots (probably influenced by having bats flying around me during the shoot). Not usually a fan of B&W, but this did look best desaturated.
That's a really nice photo, Tim. I don't what bulb is, but I've heard it mentioned. I'm going to see if the DSLR that I am borrowing has a bulb setting.
@moonmtn 'Bulb' is a speed setting when you are in manual mode, it allows you to open the shutter and then shut it after a time decided by you - thus you can have the shutter open for several minutes, or even hours. Easy if you are using a shutter release cord, but I had left it at home and was using the self-timer, and then it doesn't work.
@quietpurplehaze Disconcerting and itchy, thanks to the mosquitoes. Should you ever want to do long exposures of water, I think winter might be the best time.
Oh no, I' m scratching!
