HDR, 7 Minute Exposure at Granny Castle – Photo of the Week

Jan 30, 2011 | Photo of the Week | 4 comments

I recently got a cable release for the Canon D450 and it has opened a new world of Bulb exposures. Before this my longest exposure (without using stacking software) would have been 30 seconds. Now I am doing 10 minute exposures and thinking nothing of it.

This weeks photo of the week is one I took at Granny Castle looking West at Sunset. I was trying to get a long exposure of > 7 mins but the exposure was a tad too bright even with some ND filters attached. So I experimented and found that there was some decent range on 3 of the photos and managed to compile them into a HDR shot. Not your traditional HDR but it gave an interesting effect.

Maybe some more long exposures to come next week…

        Very impressive shot there Shane. Must try a long exposure HDR at some stage.

          Thanks Shane – in retrospect, I really was only starting in Long Exposure. This was my first 30+ second shot … basically the day I got my cable release !-)
