I love the softness and the way the lights show up against black. Really nice shot. I like looking at the different exposure times on your sunset shots.
This is lovely. I’m going to be doing some long exposure seascapes for an assignment for the diploma I’m working on so have been doing a bit of research. Hope you don’t mind me asking a couple of questions. Do you use filters Rick or is it dark enough when you normally shoot? Do you do much shooting during the day, if so what filter would you use then?
@nickspicsnz Hi Nick, I usually keep an ND2 filter on my sunset lens, Nikon 16-35. I like the effect and it also serves to protect the lens, itself. :-) A lot of the shots are late enough, that I could almost do without it, but I just like the effect that it gives for the long exposures. Really don't use filters for the daytime shooting, but if I did, probably would be using somewhere around ND6 to ND8, especially for waterfalls or running water type shots. Good luck on your assignment.
