What did you compose at Waters Edge?

One from this morning; the temperature was dropping and about ten minutes later it was snowing heavily;

I use dropbox for file sharing (image hosting?) and post the public link between these [img] [/img] but dropbox is changing their free service so I will have to find another service.

Excellent I might give that a try.

Punker I use Flickr, and there are different sizes that can be displayed when one chooses the "share" link or option.

Oh I use Flickr for all my film photography. I'll try that out, thanks!

Shailendra,

I find your image rather unique and choice of filter and extra long exposure quite interesting.

I am curious, what made you choose this method? Did you previsualize the final image?

Pdm,

Thanks for the comment. I had been contemplating a shot such as this for some time (long exposure during daylight with the sun). Most of the times I've used the Big Stopper filter has been on overcast days, but I thought I would try it with the sun out. Combined with the longer reciprocity characteristics of Ilford FP4 and the lens stopped down to F64, it was a perfect match. Though this was my first attempt, I did find that the sun was a bit brighter than I had anticipated and I have tried this shot again by adding a gradual neutral density filter to hold back the sun a bit. Unfortunately my second attempt was ruined because the sun had reflected a double image due to the fact it had reflected thru the ND and GND filters, although the brightness itself was held back.

I am likely to continue this series albeit with only 1 filter (neutral density) applied and will just "burn" in the sky in post editing, as needed.

Shailendra, another excellent long exposure!

Here is a long exposure from the edge of Amicalola Creek. I took a few images standing further back (including the one in the Landscape thread) and then shot some digital images of this more intimate scene, which made me want to reduce the exposure time to get more defined swirl compared to before. This was only about 6 seconds (the other image was about 1 minute), and I burned in the shadows on the water still to make the white swirl as defined as possible.

An intriguing image, Maris. The dominant trees and their reflections are easily understandable, but the smaller ones seem to appear from nowhere and fool the eye. Really effective!
