@mattblaze@federate.social One of my favorite non-infrastructure pictures of yours.
Captured on a short hike with a small mirrorless camera, 35mm lens, lightweight tripod, and enough neutral density for a roughly 30 second exposure.
Flowing water is a subject that lends itself to motion studies that reveal what our unaided eye can’t see, controlled by exposure time. At 1/3000 sec, every drop of water freezes in place. At 30 seconds, we see smooth, cloud-like structures that obscure individual perturbations. Only at around 1/30 sec does the camera see what we do.
@mattblaze@federate.social My best execution of this technique… this was early AM in extremely low light and before I learned about neutral density filters…
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Nice!
@mattblaze@federate.social Thanks… I need to try more water with an ND filter during daytime, like your excellent example. (but of course, need to be hiking alone or with someone who doesn’t mind me futzing around with putting the ND filter on and taking photos for an hour, LOL…)
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Oh, totally. I’m a terrible hiking partner when I have a camera with me!
