I bounced out after work last night to catch the sun set over the bay.

Gear:

Camera: Fuji X-T2
Lens: 18mm @ f/22 (this camera has a 1.5x crop factor, so 18mm is equivalent to a focal length of 27mm in 35mm film/full frame format)
ISO: 200
Exposure: 121 seconds (shutter held open on bulb setting)
Filters: Cokin ND8 plus a cheap knockoff ND8
(neutral density filters let you slow your shutter right down. Although I won't be using the cheap one again, at least not shooting directly into the sun, it gives a bit of a blue/purple tinge)

Camera was mounted on a big old heavy Manfrotto tripod, and I used a cable release to hold the shutter open (the X-T2 has an old fashioned screw thread on the shutter button, so a simple old cable release is all you need).

The RAW file was converted to "classic chrome" film emulation. I normally go for the over saturated contrasty velvia setting (Fuji velvia iso 50 was always my favourite film for it's contrast and exaggerated colours, but shooting digital RAW files lets you choose these settings in post production, and this scene was already so contrasty that the chrome film emulation was a better fit).

Not my most inspired work, that's for sure, but it's the start of me getting back into photography (and other creative pursuits).
