Weekly challenge #268: Long exposure
Posted By: TenZ.NL, 12-15-2013, 03:07 AM

Thanks David K, for letting me host this next challenge. You did a great job on the extensive judging and I didn`t expect to win as my favorites were Tessfully and Charlyzap.

So, the next challenge...
The previous theme was "Beyond your comfortzone", forcing us to think about our subjects, technics and enviroments, what we like and what we don`t.
This got me thinking. Being a nature-kinda guy (landscapes, macro and wildlife), I really love long exposures. You know, out in the dark with my camera and tripod, trying to capture subtle colors I can`t see, smooth out the water and catch some movement in the clouds. Or fiddling around with ND-filters and the likes to get 30s daytime long exposures, that kind of stuff.

But this is my my approach to this and I`m sure many of you have different views about long exposures. So anything with a exposure time over a second will do.
I`m anxious to see what you guys and girls can come up with

Good luck, kind regards and make my job as a judge a hard one,
Jacco



This challenge will run untill Friday 20 december, midnight (That is 23:00 UTC, which is EST +5, CST +6 and PST +8)

The fine print:
1. Post one photo (max 1024 X 1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3.Post your single photo in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to submit the photo and how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4.The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5.The judge will pick the winner, who will then host and judge the next week's challenge.
6.The challenge closes after seven days.This allows a day for the judge to pick the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung) DSLR is acceptable.
8. Photos can be from any time frame, not just the week of the current challenge.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge of the next week's challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass on the baton to that person to host and judge the next week's challenge

I think it goes without saying, if someone takes the time to set up and take a long exposure, there was a pretty compelling scene there to be photographed.
You are right and the idea was to get some inspiration but next time I definitely gotta be more carefull what I wish for

Ya, I sure wouldn't enjoy having to rationalize which of these images is the "best". I'm not even going to do it casually.

In the words of Elvis "Mercy" everyone. Phew, what a bunch of stunners we have here.
BTW, TenZ.NL, I think you have a different Calender to the rest of us. The 22nd is Sunday, and not Friday. Which will allow me a few more days to ... run away from this comp

Slow Motion Ocean Sunset

I'll get one in under the wire. The bight spot in the sky is Venus I think. Lots of moving parts here , the earth, the clouds , and the ship ! Taken from our balcony on a recent cruise. 16mm f10 @ 13s Not as easy as it sounds with all those moving parts
