What did you compose at Waters Edge?

Probably due to the effect on the water. From the image, it looks like the water has more "character" than one would get with a single 5 sec exposure (which would have turned the water into a softer mush).

5 second exposure in 1/10 second slices.

Clever. When things are dancing in the picture, a series of short exposures provides a series of superimposed, but relatively sharp images. A greater sense of details will be maintained compared to a single long exposure. The water shows it in this pictures, but it would work for leaves in the distance, too. I don't know why I never thought of that, but it's now in my bag of tricks.

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this either. Thanks, Vaughn.

Now I’m curious if reciprocity would work the same, either way.

You got it Rick. 5 seconds would have given me water that looked like mist. It works much better when you're only dealing with 8 or 10 slices where I would have been more likely to get more of a pronounced frozen effect on the water. With 50 slices (luckily I recently retested all my shutters), a lot of blending occurs but I still see some of the efffect I was looking for with a 10-second exposure. And of course, the Adox 25 was all I have that day.

We're less than a week from peak fall colors in CT and I'm itching to try this technique with Astia and my soft focus stopped down just a tad. Maybe break out the Velvia 50 as well.
