Chimera by northy

Chimera

This was actually taken a week ago and was something of an accident at the time... the sun was shining brilliantly and i was using my ND filter for a bit of a long exposure - only i forgot to dial up the stops to max before hitting the shutter button... i found the result kind of eerie, and decided to save for exposure week for flash-o-red...

I did get out this morning and i've put some shots up in my other albums...

Thank you for all the nice comments on my abstracty shots from yesterday... I really appreciate all the input and encouragement :)
I really like what happened.. Looks like a floating island sitting on air. Nice!

Like the impact. These things are never accidents but meant to happen. It is how we use them that we can make art

It's great. Love it magnified to see the details on the island and I agree with Sharon, it looks like a floating island xx

I like the minimalist quality to it.

Happy accident
February 24th, 2013  
Yes it works. Looks somehow lost. Especially like the tags!

So for long exposure is there really much difference if you do or don't use an nd filter? Have been thinking about getting one due to the advice I've read about long exposure.

@carolinedreams of course - a huge difference... I just messed up here and forgot to properly use the ND... If you look at my misty haze shot from today in my other album I think that was a 13 second exposure using the ND at about midway (mine is variable - I think I described it wrong above - basically it can gi from something like 2 stops to 8)... I've used it quite a bit...

@northy Thanks. Lots to learn here.
February 25th, 2013  
It's a very effective shot!

Floating Island!

Gorgeous! Love this.

I totally thought we were following each other, lol. We could have just kept on forever like that and never known the difference:) And this is a rather happy accident! I'm having a few of those myself recently, having zero clue what I'm doing with my ND at the mo:)

Looks like a lonely little island.
