"Long Exposure" - dh Photography 's Choice

There is no generally accepted definition for Long Exposure, however... for this weeks challenge the following will be used as the criteria: Taking a photo using longer than normal exposure time to get a correctly exposed photo with a deliberate attempt to create the effect of movement. Blurred ghost like people, star trails, silky water, dreamy clouds streaking in the sky are a few examples. Use filters, stacked photos, etc. to achieve the effect. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Oct. 19
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.

The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

I hope you are out shooting for this weekly challenge, because it is LIVE. Have fun, but don't get too fast (on the shutter). :encouragement:

My camera will shoot at 1/8000. Is 1/2000 considered long exposure? :)

We are winding this one down with just 11 hours left to get submissions in, before we go to the 24-hour 'like' window.

If you've got some long exposure captures to submit this week, time to get 'em in!
