Description

1/10 sec. f8 -2stops exposure compensation. Fuji s7000. My camera only stops down to f8 so this is the best i can do,i don't have a polariser yet so maybe when i get one it may help. It was quite a cloudy day so i guess that might have helped a bit,any advice most welcome. Thx Blu.

You could try slowing your shutter speed just a little bit at a time until you have the desired effect.

I did,1/8 and 1/6 sec. but they were to overexposed on the water.

Well, I like it. Looks like a painting. I need to learn how to use my shutter speeds too. Aloha nice work.

I like it too!!! I think you should be mighty proud of this first attempt. Im not sure how a polarizer can help you though? What you want is a Natural Density filter. But first check to see if there isnt one pre-builtin on your camera. Check the menus. That will allow you to have even slower shutter speed. Excellent work! Have a great day. #:O)

you did well on softening the water & staying steady.. you can also "bracket" your shots.. which you probably did & layer one on top of another to expose for different areas :]

You can't go beyond f/8? And film-speed settings (usually 100 or 200) brought down to 25 or 50 might help as well. Beautiful work!

Andreas is correct, a polarizer is not the filter for this shot. It would deepen the blue in a sky shot and reduce reflections and glare of a shop window shot for instance. Personally I don't think this could be bettered. Superb indeed!!!

I've basicly done done my work by trial and error, but like you, have found that low light situations give the best results. Early morning, late evening, and cloudy days seem to give a more consistent exposure across the image, avoiding the nasty contrast issues one encounters with sunlit water. This is a nice shot though, and keep working with it. So much fun to do!
