Vari ND Filter IV

Vari ND Filter IV

Dopn't want you all to get bored so this will be the last of these long exposure images for awhile.
Things did improve as I took more and more images. I think the camera plays a big part here, you have to know how YOUR camera reacts to long exposures. I had to Olympus camera with me and both reacted differently. My advice is take one camera, get to know it, and stick with it for this sort of thing. I found it took me some time to get into the particular camera I was using at the time. That's what I'm going to do in the future. The only thing I have to find out now is which camera is best for these long exposures. Does format count? Probably because of pixel count and format, dynamic range and a couple of other things. And here's me thinkting I had this subject beat.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Not all of the exposures were duds at first though. This is one I thought turned out ok. As I look through the images what soon became apparent is the attention required to composition. I see possibilities of how I could have taken these differently, or composed the shot from another angle, or, what I would have left out of the image. I think the adage of "less is more" really is true.

Vari ND Filters

Vari ND Filters

I've been wanting to try these filters for some time now, so when I was wandering the wilderness in the Black Forest region I came across this waterfall. What better time to try it out. The wife rolled her eyes and took out her portable stool and book. I needed no more encouragement and off I went.
2 to 3 hours later I was still at it and having a great time. This is something I can really get into. I didn't buy an expensive Vari ND to start with, just in case it wasn't my thing, but things turned out just fine. I blew a couple of shots where the highlights are blown out but by the end of the day I was getting the hang of it.
Sooooo, the next few images are going to be of cotton wool water. Some like it and some don't. I personally like it, but next time I'll try it with shorter exposure setting, say between 1 and 3 seconds. Most of the blowout images were around the 15 seconds mark. Clearly too long.
