Mini Challenge #70 - Long Exposure

Ajdrakie

Full Moon, Fireworks and Lightning to celebrate July 1st. 4 sec exposure.




Sorry, folks. I think I previously posted three of the same shot. Actually, I wasn't even ready to post, but clicked return on the title line, and ... whoops... Off they went. :-( I'm still learning.
Hopefully this one has three different shots.
Is there a way to delete my dumb posts after they've gone?

Thanks for the patience.

Sure, it's just tucked away in the editing feature.

Nice ones of the fireworks

Mini Challenge #70 --- Long Exposure
Here is one of my very few long exposure photos. The wave was coming in and I didn't think it was going to be that deep, no where to go, rock bluff directly behind me. Yes, I got drenched. Shot for 3.2 seconds. Thanks, Barbara

Here are a couple from my archive. Similar to derosaphotography, these picture were also taken in the Bellingham, WA area.

About 11 and a half minutes for this one (685s):

my mediocre contributions...
these mini-challenges seemed to have really produced some incredible images in the last two rounds!

here are my humble offerings:

my first attempt at a waterfall:


my porch - shot with a powershot on manual settings before the SLR came into my life:


my house - shot within a week of the SLR coming into my life:


thanks for the help, pyry.

Watermarking
Hello folks,
I'm confused about something and perhaps you could help me: When I uploaded my 3 photos to the mini-challenge, I removed the watermarking from them. Once they were successfully posted, I re-watermarked them in the SmugMug gallery. I figured out that was a mistake when I saw the posted photos were once again watermarked. So, I removed the watermark again. However, the posted view remains watermarked. Is this just a question of time?
Sorry about the big "Terrasse Productions." I have more than photography skills to learn here. :-)
Thanks,
Audrey

first, its ok to watermark as you wish in the mini-s...

second, yes sometimes its a matter of time and you also may need to update by pressing your keyboard f5 button when on the page your photos are posted...

kinkajou very nice composition, what aperture did you use for this image?

Took 5 hrs worth of photos and a few 30 second exposures to make this so I consider it long exposure even though nothing is blurred.

I only have a few long exposure shots that can barely be considered as such. Here are my meager entries:

#1 Natural Cleansing - 5 seconds


#2 San Francisco Christmas - 20 seconds


(edited to add: I deleted one of my entries as I don't think it really fits the theme)

Long exposure - one of my favorite techniques! If only I went out with a tripod more often ...

Here are my three entries:

Night Procession



In the Gorge



In the Still of the Night

I also love long exposures. A few of my favorites.

#1 - Thunder Hole Inlet, Acadia National Park



#2 - The Flume, White Mountains, New Hampshire



#3 - Sunset at Cape Neddick



Thanks for looking...

A few of mine

Each 'thread' or static spark in this image is 25,000 volts. They are being produced on the bottom probe and arcing to the pin. The arc is about 1 1/2 inches. It is a simulation of a human generated static spark (an actual person would only produce 1 or 2 at a time).

I went to get my solargraph can and added the picture to my post

I'm going on record and say this will not be an easy challenge to judge. Goes to show there is a lot of talent on Dgrin!!

I know it's the last minute, but I thought I'd give it a shot...

Wow, I got noticed by one of the ultimate DGrinners

I used my 28-135 at 28mm with a polarization filter at f/18.0.

Thanks and cheers to a great mini-challenge!

Kink,
is it my cabin fever... or did you just call me a big fancy name...? remember, im just one of the mutts...



just keep in mind your noticed, its just alot of people are lurkers instead of keyboardists....haha

anyway, back to your image, its very nice and better than any waterfall i have... (as goes with every waterfall shot in this thread)
you might find that using f16 will get you a sharper FG and still give you DOF instead of using f18... i found when using f16 or greater softness will start-in on your image.

good luck this round....

Thank you everyone for entering. There was more posts than I ever thought there would be. I'll have the winning shots up this evening.
