Like your pic! I'm just getting into long exposure and am curious to know how you set it up - How long did you set the exposure for? and what was your aperture setting? Did you use an sort of ND filter?
I did not have a ND filter on since it was dark enough out. It was not needed at the time. This is a 30-second exposure, ISO 100 and aperture of f8. I went back to the same location the next day and played with my ND filter during the daytime. It was not as pretty, but my goal was more to get familiar with my new ND filter and how to adjust the settings with the filter. A ND filter is definitely a must for daytime long exposure shots.
Thanks Carol. Appreciate you sharing! Santa was good to me - got a ND and grad filter. More to learn 🙂 great success with your new filter!
