And from me... wonderful images, Jim. Good to know about your technique, too. Congratulations.

Thanks to those for the nice comments on my previous two images. Here are another two from this fall. I have been experimenting with some long exposure times, I'm talking minutes here. The first one is from the Minnesota side of Lake Superior. It was taken with my 8x10 with a Fuji 300 F5.6. The exposure was about three minutes and was taken about 2pm in the afternoon on a fairly cloudy day. The second one is from the Porcupine Mountain State Park area (Lake Superior also) using the same Fuji. That exposure ran close to 7 minutes and was taken at sunset. I had stacked a neutral density filter (4 stops) and a polarizer (2 stops) for both images. Also both were shot with Velvia 50 which helped extend the length of exposures due to reciprocity. Will be trying more of this. Jim

Looks great. I too will have to try your method out at some point.

I like the light and color in this photo. good job!
I like the lower half cropped out to emphasize the light and color of the sun and sky against the silhouette of the mountains. but this is just my taste.
good job overall.
