SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry - Long Exposure
Looooooooooooooooong exposures...
I've had a great time over the last month playing in the #steemitphotochallenge hosted by @jamtaylor!
Steemit Photo Challenge, Week #66
This week's theme is Long Exposure, which happens to be my favourite type of photography! Most of my very best photos have been long exposures of some kind or other. It was hard to pick three for the contest, but I decided not to overthink it - here are my submissions:
Alabama Hills
In California... on the eastern side of the Sierras (Mt. Whitney is in the balckground). This was a long exposure at night (a bright, moonlit night). We set the cameras up and my friend drove the truck back and forth a few times as I triggered the shutter.
Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah
Long exposure during a lightning storm from Guardsman's Pass. Clouds, cars, colours and electricity! 146 seconds.
Bear's Den Falls, Massachusetts
1-minute exposure of autumn leaves swirling in a pool. The currents that form beneath waterfalls like this often form a vortex, but it takes a long exposure and something colourful in the water to make the pattern appear. I used a 10-stop ND filter for the long exposure and a circular polarizer to darken the water.
Btw, I hope you don't mind but I've created links to your fullsize images. This might help you win :)
Oh! Why, thank you! I made my images clickable, but this works too. :)
@Derekkind your images don't appear to be clickable from my browser (chrome)?
Ooooooh, you're right!!! I forgot to make these clickable, but I just learned that the Steemit More Info extension I'm using in Opera (chromium) is making images clickable on it's own, so I didn't know it wasn't the same for others. Thanks for pointing that out! :D
No problems...and bingo the votes just came in for you! IMO I have seen a few $100-200 posts with images not even remotely as good as these 3 gems :)
Yes, I think the votes are thanks to @photofeed - they came by and resteemed, and I got a bunch of votes from their curation trail. It's true, Steem Power and followers count more than photo quality at this point, but curators like #photofeed are helping to get better photography noticed. :)
Great stuff! I really like Your works, highest quality shots with still natural colors and always interesting light. Well done!
Great feedback, thank you, @photovisions! :)
Three fantastic photos, I think you have a great chance of winning. My favourite's the Bear's Den Fall shot. Nice work.
Thank you! :D
Hi @derekkind. These are superbly good...I hope you get many more votes on this post!
Thank you very much! :)
Mannn, these shots are so good. Did you use a filter on that first pic? The mountains are so bright and well-lit!
#nofilter ;)
At least not that I remember...and I have no way of checking. But I rarely keep the polarizer on for night stuff.
