It is getting dark at the Ribeirinha



A story behind:  Sometimes when I shoot seascapes I choose the shutter speed of about half a second or faster to freeze the motion of the waves. Such split-second exposures can give the surf the appearance of a fast moving, powerful force that draws the eye into the image and conveys a sense of explosive tension. 
But that night at the old and abandoned fishing port of Ribeirinha  I preferred to go for the opposite effect by using exposure that went up to 70 seconds. I used my 10-stop filter to produce a very long exposure that dramatically enhance the mood of the image. Long speed shutter times render ocean landscapes with the timeless calm. 



Gear: Nikon D700. 10-stop filter.


Focal Length: 16 mm


ISO: 50

  3. Desculpa a minha ignorância, Maciek, mas qualquer pessoa que tenha uma "reflex" pode usar filtros? Isso não atrapalha o movimento da lente?
