“龍窩雲海藏電纜” / 香港九肚山之寧 Hong Kong Kau To Shan Serenity (19-sec ND LE) / SML.20130519.6D.06935.P1.L1.BW

Clouds move quite a bit, and if exposed for long enough, they would look like a blur. In broad daylight, it is marginally possible to expose for up to maybe a second without using any filters, but this is not enough to get the clouds to blur. Al most it would look like a mistake.

To do this, I use an ND2-ND400 variable filter set to the max. By using variable filters (which is essentially a stacked adjustable circular polariser) I can set to min to focus on the image and then dial the ND to the max to expose. A better setup which I prefer is to just drop an ND filter in front when I wish to expose, but I do not have something like that right now, so the variable filter does its magic—which allows just enough light for me to see what I am photographing.

The Canon TC-80N3 timer cable release is used to manually set the shutter speed, 19 seconds in this case, and minimize vibration of the setup.

Landscape Photography by Pete Barnes taken around London.

My Website II Facebook II Twitter II Google+

I was in London a few days ago and thought I would take the camera out and do a bit of Landscape or Cityscape photography, I had originally gone out for some architectural photography but it soon changed to cityscapes. London has to many iconic buildings so I wanted to photograph a few of my favourites. I got most of the ones on my list, namely St Pauls Cathedral, Tower bridge and Battersea Power Station. I also did a few of the Shard and the Mayors office, didn’t get chance to get any of Big Ben or Parliament.

I knew I would be out taking photographs most of the day and there would be a large amount of water (river Thames) and sky in a lot of the shots. As I am a big fan of long exposure the Lee big Stopper filter was an essential bit of kit. I was also using a circular polariser to pop the clouds a little and a 2 stop grad as I wanted the sky to be quite saturated for the conversion to black and white. So this was pretty much my filter set up for the day. I had a cable release as most of the day was shot on bulb mode with exposures between 1-3 minutes aperture was typically f/16 and ISO was between 50-200. A lot of the tweaks to exposure were just done by checking out the histogram and the LCD to see how a shot was looking. I also had my camera to shoot in B&W as it helped visualising the final shot, I was still in RAW so all colour information was kept.
