Very nice. With a lovely willing subject like this, you might consider trying out strobist techniques. You'd probably be great at it.

Very lovely. Time to get an ND filter.

I like the soft look of the first one Agnostic. With the curve in the path and the perspective, look very nice.

Devwild, I didn't think it was possible to have 'too' long of an exposure with water, but your picture may be it. The water looks a little too soft and doesn't even look like water anymore. Not sure if you wanted that effect, but that's how I view it.

That's actually part of the appeal of trying it. Water isn't really supposed to look like water any more when you take extra long exposures, it's just a question of whether the end result is appealing in it's own right. Most of the time you can't really tell until you look at the exposure (and that goes for most anything in motion, like my previous carnival ride shots from June). This was just a simple experiment since I had the filter on me.

The best use of this effect I've seen is on waves through beach rocks - it looks like a dense fluid fog rather than actual water. Something I hope to try before the summer's out or at the start of fall, when I'm taking some time off.

I could not find any camera settings data in those pictures. What kind of exposure/shutter/etc did you use? They are very nice!

Thanks!

Both were shot in RAW with spot metering in apperture priority mode using a circular polarizer.
Both shot were slightly underexposed out of camera which is how I like them, I hate blown out highlights.

#1
55mm
f/5.6
1/2000

#2
24mm
f/5.6
1/1500

A few from Friday morning. We've had a couple weeks of spectacular clouds due to some unusual weather patterns here in the Northeast. An overnight thunderstorm was moving just offshore across Lake Ontario. You see the columns of rain in a couple of the shots.

Fake shoes, anyone?

Two more little bugs. These guys were tiny, and shooting them with the 70-300IS at 300mm was a real challenge.
