400 seconds

[K1W1]

400 second exposure using a ND400 filter



A total of about 65 seconds exposure across five shots



and a mere 3 seconds exposure

Interesting comparison.

The second one works best for me but the blue colour cast on the falls makes it a bit unrealistic. (Did you purposely tint it that way, or was there some radioactive fallout just upstream)?

That long shot in number one to me seems a bit pointless. Is there a good reason for doing such a long exposure when a much shorter one would possibly have captured a better result. The water doesn't look attractive at all to me.

The third is closer to what I would be using, but typically would not use a filter unless it extra bright (in which case I probably would not be taking the shot). I like to retain some detail in the flow.

Cheers.

The first photo was only because i was trying an app on my photo that calculates long exposure time. I used a small aperture and a dark filter deliberately to get a really long exposure to see how the app worked. What you see is pretty well sooc so the app does calculate correctly.

The second shot is just playing for the sake of playing

The third shot is the sort I would do if I was serious. I prefer movement in my water. There was no filter used on the third shot.

Interesting.

I prefer the b&w because of the simplicity and composition. The oof boulder is less than ideal but doesn't really detract from what is a fine image.

Three seconds seems to have done the trick with regard to blurring the water.

The blue water in #2 is distracting for me but I haven't a clue how to fix it.

Thanks. As I said above the b&w is the look I most prefer.
I fixed it in LR by playing with the blue channel on a copy of the image I have on my computer. As I said this was just a play picture I know its not a real representation of the scene but its not supposed to be.

Thanks for the explanation, I missed your previous post.

Interesting comparison. A friend has the app Pho 4 Pho (I think) which he uses a lot. The rocks and water in #1 are nicely exposed so whichever app you used worked well. Like the others I prefer #3 overall.

Interesting experiment.
I actually like the 2nd shot. Some great detail showing up.
Good mixture of texture and colours I reckon.
