| | Slow, Grueling, Long Exposures @ Daytime. < on 10/18/2012 3:56 AM >
| | | Picked up a Nikon D2X, with a generic wide angle lens a couple weeks ago. Long exposures at night are my speciality, but started hating HDR and can't travel where I want for night photography easily - California. So .. went to day time exposures. The long exposures can be a bit noisy on the D2X, but they DO produce some compelling shots. All these shots were taking on different days, believe it or not. Enjoy, tell me what sucks .. what doesn't. 1. Buffalo, NY - City Hall

| | | Pretty sure I've commented on most of these on Flickr already but they are all amazing except the first one. I find it very difficult sometimes when using a ridiculously dark filter (unless it's a grad) to get everything exposed properly. In the first image, the top half of the building is completely underexposed. I'm assuming it's more of a filter thing than a shooting thing (from my experience). Other than that though, I love the drama super long exposures add. You have done a great job. Edit: I guess with #5 a bit too but the sky is so dramatic, I often forget there is a building to look at too. [last edit 10/18/2012 1:11 PM by Derelict Compositions - edited 1 times]

It's actually a stylistic choice vs. accident. I've had this flavor of Gothem stuff going through my mind, because of some recent events. This was taken with my RX100 at the same time in the same position. [last edit 10/18/2012 4:11 PM by Buffalonian - edited 1 times]

| | | Rookie question. I looked it up, and have 1 ND filter; a 0.9. Eyeballing the shots taken it looks like you need to use something in the realm of 2.0-3.0. Can you use multiple ND filters mounted on top of one another? Any drawbacks? (I ask because the 2.0 and 3.0 ND filters I have seen are ridiculously expensive. Combining what I have would be monumentally cheaper.)

You can usually stack filters. Your focal length plays a huge role though. Vignetting becomes a problem pretty quickly on full frame.

Not at all man ... art is subjective, and I honestly invite it hence why I'm in the critique section vs. the ball licking straight up photography forum section.

Yup. If you go that route of ND stacking, get a Cokin system. More expensive, but it allows for flexibility - hence why they can get super expensive. Screw on filters at 82mm on my other ultra wide ... $600 for the ND I want to buy - hence why I sold the lens for something more standard on thread fit.

True! I had a Tokina 11-16 with 77mm thread. I just recently sold the lens along with the filter. I think I only paid about $250 for the filter. Cokin or Lee filter holders are the way to go.

Nice. 250$? To rich for my blood for a filter, but I do know their worth when used properly.

That was a cheap filter for my cheap lens... Now I have a 14-24. I now have to get a Lee SW150 holder which is $400 plus filters! :s
