The creek in a countryside (long exposure shots)
Let me share with you today my first expirience of long exposure shots of the water stream
I always liked the pictures of water on a long exposure. In these pictures the water turns to ice like.
And I would also try to make such a picture.
One day I went for a drive through the countryside and photographed. I have already published the pictures of this trip here и here. My path passed through the bridge, under which flowed a small creek. Here is a photo of this creek from a bridge.
I had a tripod with me, and so I decided to do this experiment. I have no filters, so images came out overexposed at first. In the end, I thought of enable exposure compensation, and was able to get some shots.
To be honest I do not really like these pictures. Several times I was going to delete them. But then I decided to try to make them black and white versions. And I liked them more.
When I processed the pictures, them saw my son and a wife. They said that they like the color version.
So I stand on your judgment both versions.
How do you like these pictures? I'd like to hear any critique.
Which version do you like better? Color or black and white?
exposure - 1 s
exposure - 1/10 s
exposure - 1/4 s
exposure - 2 s
Nikon D5000 18-55VR

Thanks to @t3ran13 for this interesting tool.
Beautiful shots!
Thank you! Glad to hear that 8)
Nice landscape scenes.
Thanks! 8)
I like the color version more.
Thank you @shieha! So they are not so bad? 8)
Well I think the photo with the log is the strongest photo, since it has a more obvious subject. The others I'm not so sure what the subject is so I'm a little lost.
Thank you for your attention! As I said, I didn't like them. The subject (for me) is a water stream which should looks like ice. And in B&W I tried to make the plants more dark, so they do not distract the viewer from the water flow. 8) That's why B&W is better for me.
In the photo with the log it seems to me that the log is not very well placed in the frame.
And as I said to @ace108, I'm waiting for my ND filter now. So I can practice with this style in future.
Nice shots!
Thanks! 8)
Stunning pictures !! I follow you!
Thank you! Glad you like it. You are welcome 8)
This is interesting. To me the 2s longer exposure makes the water looks calmer. I was expecting the opposite.
You cal look at @shieha 's pictures. I'm in love with this water smoothness effect. But it really hard to take a longer exposure shot with daylight. You need a an ND filter. @shieha wrote a post about it. I've already ordered an ND filter.
I follow @shieha too. :-) wonderful works.
How many stops of ND filter did you get?
I bought this ND2-ND400 adjustable filter
You will have a lot of fun with that!
I hope so 8)
