    Re: Post your long exposures here

    July 1st is Canada Day, and you know there is going to be a fireworks show!! While waiting for the show to start on English Bay in Vancouver, British Columbia I decided to make a long exposure to catch all the boats moving around the bay. Someone out there decided to fire off an emergency flare and soon all the boaters were firing them off. Throw in a few jets coming and going from the airport, some onlookers along the shore and the moon for good measure and you have an interesting recipe for a unique image. Image was made with a Linhof 617 using a 17 minute exposure.

    Is 80 seconds considered long around here?

    Yes, what is a "long" exposure?

    My exposures under the redwoods run around 30 seconds to 30 minutes.

    Amazing. I had no idea it bucked like that. As it's been around for what, 50+ years I'm thinking it's safe, yes?

    Hello Bruce,,,


    The movement comes from the built in mechanics of the bridge.. Which makes it a machine in and of it's self I guess

    Looks like your film slipped in the holder during exposure. I've had that happen more than once. What I do before making long exposures is tap the holder edge that will be at the bottom sharply on the palm of my hand. I've not had film slip since doing this (35 years).

    Think about how migh the bridge would be moving if it was the bridge. 10, 15 feet or more? Cars couldn't drive on it if it moved that much.

    Yes. With such a long span, it has to move or it would simply snap. You can often feel the movements when you are on it.
