water long exposure 1st try by orion5d

water long exposure 1st try

this is the first try with long exposure to capture the water softly, but I did not use a filter, it could be better, will try another one maybe with a nd filter. I am open to any suggestions, help, tips :-)
it's a good start - I haven't really had a go at this yet either

Hi Astrid. Thanks for your comment on my picture today. ;-) Did you see, that I provided a link on the blackberry picture, with some "behind the scene" informations? Sometimes it is easy to miss a reply, as you don't get a note by mail, and have to look it up in the list behind the "bell".
If I can, I try to help with long exposure. I'm will be away for some time, but after my vacation I can borrow you my "nd filter set", so you can play a bit more with long exposure, also in bright sunshine. But just a quick note on this picture. When I checked your exif date, I can see, that your ISO jumped up to 500. Make sure, that for this kind of shots, you are in full manual mode, and that the ISO are as low as you can. Then you can close your aperture/f-stop as much as possible and so you will have the possibility to expose for several seconds. It depends a bit, on how fast the water flows, if there are white spots (water going over stones) that shouldn't burned out, etc. It's a play. And of course a tripod is a must. Please do not hesitate to get back to me, if there are questions. I'm glad to help.

My kind of shot :) Really like this. Learned a lot from your fellow countryman Mona's reply.

@mona65 thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I will try this out. Didn’t use a tripod either so far. And i am always in manual mode but didn’t at all pay attention to the iso. Will do that from now on. Thanks so much!!! 🌸
