Wow! Wonderfully composed and the silk effect perfected! 12s of exposure, did you use a stopper? Posted 7 years ago

  I've got a 10 stop - Ice ND 1000 - it goes against all convention. It's a stupid cheap screw on filter - a big 77mm one only costs $30 and a small one like I have was, I think, only around $10 when I bought it. By the 'you get what you pay for' rule it should suck, but it totally out performs filters that cost 10X more. Unlike most super dark ND filters it doesn't introduce any color cast. It's really low profile and has good optical quality too. I totally recommend it. Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

  This is actually 2 frames stitched, but one on top of the other rather than side by side. It's kind of funny - every once in a while I have to give myself a mental shake. I kept taking different photos here, framing and reframing - some vertical some horizontal, but I wasn't getting quite what I wanted. Then it hit me.. I could do a stitched image that isn't a panorama... It seems like it should be perfectly obvious, but I'm so used to using it for panos that I wasn't even thinking about other shapes.

    Very creative, vertical panoramas are definitely underused. I also think that in terms of the way most photos are viewed today (screen types), very wide photos do not always have maximum impact, squarish photos are on the rise. Posted 7 years ago
