Of the 4 you've shown us so far, 20186 is my favorite... it's nice to accomplish capturing the smooth milky water as a blur, it isn't what one can see when you are actually in that place..  The texture of the water in the this one takes me there.. it looks like what my eyes can see - nice geometry too.

Hi Ann, thanks for that. That one was kind of accidental, it wasn't what I was setting out to shoot, but it worked out favorably. I noticed with the very long exposures that I was losing all the definition in the submerged rocks, so I tried a couple at shorter exposures. All I did for that one was take off the ND filter and adjust the time appropriately.

My goal with these pictures was to try, to a certain extent, to emulate what I used to be able to do so easily with 4x5 film, which was get really deep depth of field along with tremendous detail, while at the same time introducing sufficient blur into the moving water to turn it to milk.

To get this result, I needed to shoot at the best aperture and then stack the images, and use multi stop neutral density filters to expand the exposures out. I decided to throw the polarizer on mostly to see what it would do.

This was the sort of thing I would have done with Ilford Pan-F rated at ISO 12 or so, and using an f/stop of 45 or even 64.

Overall I am pleased with the result.

Oh and, comments welcome.

Thanks

bill
