71 seconds

So I made it out of the house today. Don't worry, just ran down to Pickthorne Lake to see what sunset had to offer.
Very little color, certainly not a classic one, so I put the camera on bulb, slapped on the Vari-ND filter and did some long exposures. Just because!!
In this one, 71 seconds duration, I did manage to catch a bit of evening color and also a C-130 turning into LRAFB.

I like the look of the scene with the long shutter open time. The satin water texture and the soft look to the streaking clouds are a nice combination.

The long shutter makes the clouds stand out with their movement. Nice image overall Barry.

 

[JimFox]

Great thinking Barry! The longer shutter speed helps to pull color out where it's minimal.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very good example of when a long shutter is the way to go.

 

[Jeffrey]

That's just sweet.

Many thanks, fellas! Despite the lack of dramatic sunset, it was nonetheless fun to get out of the house!!
