[QUOTE="Samsonite, post: 125614, member: 13264"] Hi All, Dont know if this is in the right section, but hoping i can get some opinions on a few pictures i took yesterday. It was my first attempt at long exposure of a rocky beach, i was trying to get the nice silky smooth effect you see by other photographers. I was using my D5100 with the 18 - 55 Kit lens, a tripod, shutter release remote and a ND 8 Neutral Density filter. The best results were obtained with with an exposure of between 6 and 10 seconds, with an aperture of between F32 and F36. From 10 seconds onward was just very bright and over exposed.... Im confused by the results... The pictures lack color and sharpness, I cant tell whether this is because they are over exposed, whether the filter is crap, or the focus isnt right.... What are your opinions? Do I also need a Circular polarizing filter for shots like this? Here are a few of the pictures....
