Expose yourself, long exposure

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Expose yourself, long exposure

Covered quite a bit of ground this weekend, i guess like Leigh i get bored too.

walked around with 12-24DX and a SB800. Shot in strobe mode 10Hz, with red gel, 3 second exposure, white balance 3700Kelvin, 12mm.
Image

Same deal, longer exposure 15 sec, with some glowstix, white balance 57000Kelvin
Image

glowstix work best in total darkness, sb800 set on rear flash, 8 secs, red gell, white balance 57000K, 12mm
Image

30 secs, flags at darling harbour
Image

Rastafarian man, 8 secs, red gel, strobe flash, white ballance 3700K
Image

birds circling bridge feasting on bugs, 1 minute exposure ISO 300, whitebalance 3700K
Image

I like this shot because it reminds me of lonely urban nights midnight marauding. 1 sec, with rear flash, ISO 300, white balance 6500K
Image

Notice the couple on the right they are sooo in loove they pashed for a minute long hardly moving as the 1 minute exposure shows

Bloody ( :oops: ) amazing photos. I knew that you were out there but these are really fun images. :D The last one seems somewhat out of place with the others though. :wink:

Well done wendellt, all very interesting shots, I love long exposures at night. I have to say though that the last two shots are in a league of their own though. The second last looks very trippy and cool.

Nice of that couple to oblidge you as well.

These are fantastic - the strobe effect photos are reason enough for me to lust after the SB800. I get the feeling you could create a good "10 second exposure" competition entry with some of your ideas ;)

I really look forward to seeing your image posts, as I know I will see something amazingly different, and you have never disappointed! Theses are just brilliant, and if I have to pick a favourite, it would be #1, followed very closely behind by #7.

:shock: Amazing!

Wendell, keep up with your style. You're always producing different things that we don't normally expect (eg. portfolio shoot).

Have to try out this strobe effect on the sb-800, haven't seen that one yet.

Great shots Wendell. Fav is the second last one but also like the bridge shot. At that time of night I suspect it's Little Bentwings or other insectivorous bats engaged in the feeding frenzy rather than birds.

I've experimented a little with the strobe features of the SB800 but can see I will have to get out more often. Thanks for this very inspiring display. :D
