Exif

* Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 73/1 second = 73 second
* Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 13/1 = F13
* ISO Speed Ratings = 100
Aperture = F13
* Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
* Focal Length = 24/1 mm = 24 mm

I like really long exposures for the effect on the water and sky. It depends on how much light is available so this one looked good at 73 seconds.

So did you shoot a number of shots at different speeds and find the one that gave you the exposure that looked good to you?

This method is what I do but I'm just wondering if there is a way to calculate getting close - especially bulb mode.

Great shot, love the effect of the long exposure.

Also wondering if you used any filters? And if so which ones and what stop?

Thanks!

Nevermind, didn't see the 2nd page.

Is that a grad ND or just regular ND? Mine still has not shown up yet... also, what time of day?

It's a regular ND. Time of day was about 30 minutes before the sun set.

Another great link...and photo..I am heading down to the Bahamas in 3 weeks for 3 weeks and looking forward to giving the slow exposures a try.

I am now armed with the VariND plus a slew of GND's...

Thanks Tom
