An anchor with some history etched in the metal, and ravaged by the passage of time. Nice touch with the fog using the lenghtened exposure.

thank you...its actually water not fog, you get the effect with long exposure times.....

Beautiful shot, how did you prevent the picture from becoming over saturated with a 9 min exposure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
length of exposure should not make an image oversaturated, if you mean overexposed (which i suspect) the lens had a filter fitted that allows you to extend the exposure time....

You are correct, I did mean over exposed. What type of lens filter were you using - if you don't mind revealing your secrets.

I would guess the photographer is using a neutral density filter (basically semi-transparent filters that make the scene look darker, thus allowing for more exposure time.)

So what is the advantage of using a ND filter over a polarizing filter? (I understand the difference between the two types of filter)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The main difference between them is that a ND filter makes the scene darker but does not polarise the light while a polariser does of course, polarise the light.
Also, there are different levels of ND filters. For example, one can be almost opaque, allowing for example, a bright noon shot that would normally be captured at 1/1000 to be captured at 10 seconds. If you decide to use one that is not as opaque, you can for example, capture the same scene at 2 seconds. So basically, ND filters are built with the main purpose of allowing photographers to extend their exposure time, so there are varying levels of opacity for them, polarising filters are not as flexible.
Hope this helps

nice tutorial mate, well explained.

Yes that does, thank you very much for your detailed description!

thats awesome. How did you know that it would be a 9 minute exposure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i calculated it....it was 1/3 sec without the filter add 10 stops to that which takes you to about 8 mins,(1/2sec-1s-2s-4s-8s-16s-32s-1min-2min-4min-8min) i thought it would need about another minute so took it to 9 mins...
glad you like ..

Oh, sick! do you have the B+W 10 stop? i was thinking about getting that, but i havent found anything cool that I could use it on yet, so i am holding off for now.

Nice detail shot mate, works really well.
...I think you'll find the expression is "time and tide" though. I'm just sayin'
