I got all the way down to Jackson's Beach to take some night shots when I realized I'd forgotten my fully charged battery. The one in the camera had been very busy earlier today, so I cut this exposure short at 10 minutes. I wanted to go about 30 minutes, and I will one of these nights. Anyway, this is Griffin Bay at about 11:00 PM tonight. The original image out of the camera looked like this, but I used Photoshop to make it more realistic. (I don't know where all that yellow came from in the original).10 minutes f/5.6 iso 800
>>> EDIT: Ooops. This was ISO 800 not 200 so I just corrected that typo.
Very neat shot - fascinating to see the difference between the original and this.
ReplyDeleteWow - I really must try this. The blue sky looks very effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah I'm thinking it would be cool to let it go for an hour or longer but that requires a fully charged battery. And probably a smaller aperture as this one got pretty bright after only 10 minutes...
ReplyDeleteI love long exposure shots and this is a good one - can't wait to see what you get going longer.
ReplyDeleteFilm in an old mechanical SLR is a really good tool for l o n g exposures - there are no power requirements. Open up a 35 ~ 50mm lens at f11 and point it at the sky for 4 hours or more - the results are really fun.
The difference is incredible. I can't wait to see longer exposed shots.
